Narsai David Review: Fisher Farm Tomatoes
(KCBS) - It's a little late in the season, but KCBS Food and Wine Editor Narsai David says heirloom tomatoes are finally here.
These are the first really sweet, vine-ripened tomatoes. Everything's late because of the Spring that wreaked havoc with fruits and vegetables all over the state. Tomatoes haven't had any flavor these days because they haven't been ripened enough.
Recently we drove down through Escalon and stopped at Fisher Farms. They only sell produce they grow themselves which includes stone fruit, some vegetables, and of course tomatoes.
When we were there, they were picking the richest, deepest purplish, Cherokee tomato.
They also brought back the klondike watermelon which is the tastiest watermelon anywhere. It has seeds but that's what makes it a delicious watermelon!
