In today's YT video I'm tasting a variety of strawberries, tomatoes and apples after recent discussions about how fruit (and veg) is lacking in taste. I got some from M&S, Waitrose, my local greengrocer and my Co-op. Spoiler alert, the M&S produce came out top for actually tasting like they were supposed to!! So I'm thinking it's worth buying more expensive in season produce but just less often so I can stay within budget.
Someone asked what I was going to do with all that produce! You know me, I won't be wasting any of it!! As I had too many strawberries to eat by myself I chopped the 'lesser' tasty ones and froze them in my wee tubs (right hand side) for using in overnight oats or yoghurt. The wee tubs on the left are mixed fruit compote.
Some of the tomatoes I've just lightly cooked with vinegar, sugar and a pinch of salt to make a kind of sauce.
It's delicious with my sausage meatballs!
The remaining tomatoes on the vine will be roasted just as a side veg and the wee sugardrop ones I'll just munch on as snacks! 🍅
