‘Yellow Ruffled’ tomato

‘Yellow Ruffled’ is a thick-fleshed yellow heritage tomato perfect for roasting.

I’m so pleased with my tomato crop this year. Especially these ‘Yellow Ruffled’ heritage tomatoes, which are so thick-fleshed and dry that they are perfect for roasting.

These plants have cropped well: I’ve had about ten tomatoes from one bush, which is very good given their size. And they are sweet to taste as well, just a little too dry to be worth including in salads when they are so much better as cookers.

I love slow-roasted tomatoes enough to make it worth using all of these for that purpose, but I do quite fancy the idea of a yellow tomato soup or pasta dish, too, just to impress guests.

But I will roast most of them - don’t forget to follow my slow-roasted tomato recipe.
