Tomato ‘Red Currant’ (aka ‘Sweet Pea’)

Description

Indeterminate. Deceptively big on sweet, currant flavor, these ¼ inch, ruby-red jewels can me muddled into sweet or savory cocktails. Try them with vodka, lime and cilantro, or use as a garnish. Ideal for containers. Indeterminate. 72 days.

Care: Grows to 6’. Space plants 12-18” apart in 2’ rows. Full sun.

Farmers Market Vodka Garden:

Over the centuries, vodka has been distilled from potatoes, grains and fruit – anything the farmer had left over at the end of harvest. And because vodka is a neutral spirit, it can be infused with all the flavors of the farmers market. Try a lighter, fresher version of the classic Bloody Mary by simply smashing fresh tomatoes in the shaker and straining. Or infuse vodka with peppers and herbs to preserve the flavor of the harvest.

Kitchen Garden: Muddle 1.5 ounces vodka, juice of ½ lemon, ¼-ounce simple syrup, fresh basil and tomato. Shake over ice, strain and serve. Garnish with tomatoes on a pick.
