Every year, David and I grow tomatoes on our patio. We like to nurture them, watch them grow and of course eat them. They are so fresh and their taste is absolutely incredible. At the end of the season when it’s time to harvest, we always have a bunch of them. During that time of year as the days cool off and the overnight temperature drops, it might not be warm enough outside to finish ripening the tomatoes. What to do? – you ask. Don’t worry, you can still continue the process indoors. Years ago during the fall season, when it was rainy and damp outside, a friend of ours came over. As he was looking out at our garden at what was left on our patio, he asked us if we knew what to do with the rest of our “green” tomatoes. We actually didn’t and that is when he gave us this Tomato Ripening Trick! At first I was skeptical but after following his instructions, a few weeks later, our tomatoes were perfectly ripe and ready to eat. I do cook a lot with tomatoes and using the ones from the garden makes my recipes even more “homey”! Some of my recipes are Shakshuka, Classic Marinara Sauce, Greek Salad as well as Greek Pizza, Garden Vegetable Juice, Italian-Style Bruschetta, Tomates à la Provençale (Tomatoes Provencal), Tomato Rosemary Focaccia, and many more… When you watch the video, you might find the process unorthodox but give it a try! For this tomato ripening trick, you don’t have to go out of your way to buy any special materials or equipment. As the days go by, you’ll see some of your tomatoes ripening faster than others and you’ll be able to enjoy the show as they “ripen”. I’m sure you’ll be surprised, just like we were, that this trick really works! Bon Appétit!
