It’s time for tomato preserve!
I confess, this is my first time. It’s not Chrstmas time yet, but a blond angel yesterday came to my house with a cart full of yummy tomatoes!
So I asked advices and read food book tips to make my first tomato preserve.
I’m so happy, the result it’s fantastic!
Let’s make it together.
