Blush

This tomato was another one recommended to me by Carolyn Male. I believe Carolyn got the seed from Fred Hempel in California to trial and then had offered it to tomatoville members in 2011.

I would have to say that this one of my new favorites.  Blush was a very popular tomato at the farmers markets last year. It  not only added spectacular flavor, but that extra appeal to my basket full of small cherry tomatoes as well.  A hint to all market growers- GROW THIS ONE IF YOU CAN.

The Blush tomato is a small yellow pointed striped- plum.  Be sure to really let them ripen up before eating.  They should be soft and have almost an orangey color to them.

I find the taste to be sweet and juicy with a little crunch.  They are not too meaty at all.  I feel as if I am snacking on candy when indulging in these magnificent pieces of fruit.
