A bit of tomato trivia: “In 1887 our country’s tariff laws stated that there was a duty to be paid on vegetables, but not on fruit. In May 1893, a decision was made by the U.S. Supreme Court that tomatoes were a vegetable–so the tariff could be collected. The court based their decision on a common definition that categorizes produce by the way it is used, rather than its botanical definition.”

Fruit or vegetable, the tomato tart looks yummy!

What a beautiful creation. I haven’t yet come to grips with the fact that my husband doesn’t eat tomatoes; it’s one of his (very) few failings! Perhaps something like this will tempt him over to the dark side.

Great recipe and a beautiful tomato! Wow!

I stumbled across a great recipe on instructibles and have since found a better version on Paula Dean’s website. It is for tomato pie and you gotta give it a try. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/tomato-pie-recipe/index.html

I have been so impressed with the flavors and variety available from heirloom tomatoes that I will probably never look back and grow the modern ones again! Great recipe that I am looking forward to trying.
