It's an interesting question. I assume the cherry fruits were nice and yellow? Maybe they needed even more ripening.Kathy Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10593849691667606991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320167217139525439.post-22568880889713189362016-07-21T09:19:15.687-05:002016-07-21T09:19:15.687-05:00I was cleaning a bucket of both regular tomato var...I was cleaning a bucket of both regular tomato varieties and also had a bunch of yellow cherry tomatoes in it.

And like Kathy (above) I too like using self-rising flour.

Today I gave them to the first camper I checked in. I will think about those tomatoes in the middle of winter, but I would rather share my bounty that have it go to waste. I have tones of sauce in the freezer already. You can fry the green tomatoes. My grandmother always used cornmeal, but I like self-rising flower. They crisp up nicely. Then I sprinkle a little parmesan on top.Kathy's Klotheslinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17881966393157941515noreply@blogger.com
