from our plotA steady, medium red tomato that has grown in British greenhouses since the 1930s. The flavour is gentle rather than dazzling, but it crops and crops — happy under glass, and fine outdoors in a kind summer. There's a quiet pleasure in that reliability; the sort of plant a grandparent might have grown.
in the kitchen
Tomato sauce
Score and blanch, slip off the skins, then let them down slowly with garlic, olive oil, a pinch of sugar and a few leaves of basil until thick and glossy. The beginning of a hundred suppers; freeze it in batches and you'll have summer to hand all winter.
