Saw this recipe and it took me back to New Jersey. When we were in New Jersey, Big John always had a big garden and he grew the most delicious tomatoes. When we moved to Missouri I was a little skeptical about the tomatoes, but I can tell you that I have not been disappointed. The tomatoes are delicious and juicy. They have the right amount of acidity. Usually I make a tomato salad with olive oil and lots of basil, but I thought this recipe would be great. This recipe did not disappoint.
