Btw.....the cooler nights are also talking to my heirloom tomato plants.

They are all beginning to ripen.

I had more fruit last year and will be adjusting variety planting locations next year to maximize productivity (old German and black krim are just not productive enough for zone.)

I have a lot of 3/4lb Cherokee purples and some 1+LBers as well.

Love Cherokee Purple!

Other tomatoes to consider.

You could try Trifle Tomato. Tolerates heat. I have a bunch of green ones hanging up at the top of my vines when everything else except Stupice have stopped producing. Some cracking, but stays firm on the counter for long time while others go soggy.

Stupice is a small early tomato that produces all season. Right now i am getting some of the best fruit of the season.

Good Luck!

Well, THAT was easy enough:

Freezing
Dehydrating
Fermenting
Pepper Jelly
Pickled Peppers
Sauces and Salsa
Cowboy Candy (I have made this to rave reviews!)
Pepper Relish
Preserving in Oil

Has links to recipes, too.

Recipe I’ve used for the Cowboy Candy. You can use any peppers for this, not just Jalapeno. I used a variety called ‘Sweet Heat’ and they were perfect. Use sweet peppers, and add more heat with additional Cayenne pepper if you want.
