Agree with the peppercorns, I'm using some Jamaican allspice at the moment-for dusting oven dried pineapple, it's lovely. Enjoy your 'fruit de mer' :mrgreen: Miles Laura,

One of my personal favorites which I will soon be enjoying along with lots of fruits of the sea - dining while overlooking the canal and basin. And from homegrown ingredients - can't be beat! I second the vote for the balsamic vinegar and would possibly experiment around with peppers - sometimes using green peppercorns or white instead of the usual black. Lovely! Laura A lovely Caprese!

My lawn was looking like a Mexican desert :( Good luck with your harvest! Miles Karen,

Try these, the flavour intensifies with time. Miles Melissa,

We get all sorts of preserved tomatoes in the deli but I like these the most because they are moist and have an excellent flavour...... some of the sun dried tomatoes are a bit leathery but lend themselves to being chopped and put into bread recipes. Let's hear it for the panna cotta in all it's guises. Friends of mine have been terrified (I'd have said frightened but that doesn't fully describe their true feelings :) ) of using gelatin. I, on the other hand only ever keep sheet gelatin in which is so easy to use and I've never had a problem with it. Your dish looks so delicious, I could eat one now in the middle of the afternoon. Cid p.s. If you find you have a huge glut of tomatoes this year and don't know what to do with them.... let me just say that I and my girl friends would love to have access to your private polly tunnel.... where did you say it was? :) Miles,

I'm hoping for a bounty that rivals last summer (loads of tomatoes), though it's not looking so promising this year. New Mexico needs rain. Cheers, Karen Miles,

And perfect timing as I will be receiving buckets of tomatoes with my CSA (community supported agriculture) share soon. I'm never sure what to do with my bounty, beyond eating tomatoes with every meal. I'm definitely going to be trying this and thank you for the flavoring tips. I'm never sure about my herbs and spices and you always have the answers! By the way, I've just spent some time reading up on all the past posts I've missed during this past couple of weeks. Your week in pictures is always a highlight for me and I loved the black and white journey through your kitchen. Those were some of your absolute best photos, Miles. Wonderful stuff! Cid and Miles -- I love coconut water and use it in my morning smoothies. It's not only refreshing, but very healthy. My 20-something son told me that his friends (not him, of course) drink a big bottle of coconut juice after a night of partying. He says it's the ultimate hangover cure. :-) Melissa Great post, Miles. And perfect timing as I will be receiving buckets of tomatoes with my CSA (community supported agriculture) share soon.

I actually bought some peppers the other day that I'm guessing were done like this. Brilliant ! Best Rod This is a greta idea - I’ve got tomatoes growing now so I may give this a go.
