What criteria should you use to select your tomatoes?Fruits and vegetables

Not all tomatoes are suitable for preserving. Here’s how to make the right choice:

Opt for dense-fleshed varieties like Roma or San Marzano, which contain less water and more pulp. Choose perfectly ripe fruit with unblemished skin and even color. A good test? The stem should detach easily. Take advantage of the summer season to get sun-ripened tomatoes at reasonable prices. A helpful tip: If your tomatoes look a little green, let them ripen for a few more days at room temperature to develop their full flavor.
