Now, Northern NH isn't the mid-Atlantic: but even here, it's been a very good year for 'maters

Having grown up in Baltimore, I am pretty picky about good, fresh, local 'maters. Tomatoes just don't get any better than those grown south of Baltimore & across the bridge on the Eastern Shore (despite what folks from New Jersey and Virginia may tell you). But the hot, dry summer up here in NH has led to a crop of pretty darned respectable love apples this year.

Starting to make some vintage 2016 'mater sauce at our house.

Yesterday I picked a bunch of pretty darned ripe ones to use in a fave roasted tomato sauce recipe we've been making here for a few years. The recipe, which originated at Maine's Stonewall Farms is very simple and, best of all, requires only vegetables & herbs that we grow right in the ol' backyard. Other than the olive oil, salt, pepper and (if desired) sugar, everything else is ours :)

I am embarrassed by the rather unappetizing color imparted by the stove's CFL hood lights above :P I tried to adjust it, but couldn't really get it much better. It really does look, and taste, extremely nommy -- and the aroma it imparts to the house whilst roasting is nothing short of sublime.
