Want To Try a Really Great Tomato?

If you haven’t tried Santa Sweets® Authentic Grape Tomatoes, or UglyRipe® Tomatoes, you’re in for a real surprise.  Santa Sweets Grape Tomatoes are so tasty, kids eat them by the handful right out of the package.  Santa Sweets UglyRipe® Heirloom Tomatoes offer that familiar old-fashioned, hearty tomato taste and meaty, beefsteak flesh like home-grown tomatoes. 521618_506437936060075_1715234041_nThese tomato varieties can help punch your favorite recipes up, too.  UglyRipes are so succulent, a routine BLT becomes a special event!  UglyRipes raise the standard Caprese salad to a new level.  Try quickly grilling an UglyRipe before slicing to serve on your grilled burgers.  Or serve them all by themselves in wedges with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. The Authentic Grape Tomatoes are the perfect base for a simple but yummy sauce.  Slice a couple of handfuls in half lengthwise, sauté them in olive oil with a dash of salt, pepper, and dried Italian herbs, and then pour the contents of the pan — including the juices — over roasted or grilled skinless chicken or turkey breast. Try roasting them whole in a hot (400°F) oven with a little minced garlic, olive oil, a pinch of dried Italian herbs, and a dash of salt and pepper for a few minutes until they soften and the skins pop.  Then pour the entire dish over slices of a grilled beef or salmon steak. For a delectable twist on Caprese salad, try Caprese kabobs:  Thread a tomato, a fresh mozzarella cheese ball about the same size as the tomato, and a basil leaf on a skewer. Continue until the skewer is full.  In a small bowl, whisk together a little olive oil and balsamic or red wine vinegar.  Drizzle this mixture over the kabobs just before serving.  Looking for even more recipe ideas?  Visit www.santasweets.com.
