Autumn Tomato Harvest

With the cold weather in June and July, my tomatoes got a very late start. However, the September sun allowed these lovely Big Boy and Italian tomatoes to ripen, and I picked them last weekend.  Once they were peeled, I put them in the slow cooker for 10 hours to make a batch of marinara sauce.  When we cook our next batch of spaghetti, we will savor the lingering flavors of a summer in Maltby.
