What a Delight ~ Winter Tomatoes!
…
Luke and I still have four tomato plants in our garden that just do not want to give up the ghost. This is the second winter for my Lemon Boy tomato–can you believe that?! We also have a green bell pepper that has 4 or 5 peppers growing.
Sunday we picked a full dozen tomatoes from those vines. It was so exciting. So, I thought I would look around Pinterest and see what I could find for Winter Tomatoes. Here are a few of the yummy ideas I came across. Check out the recipes; I hope you enjoy.

Doesn’t this soup look absolutely delicious? I think I may try this using my fresh from the garden winter tomatoes and supplementing with canned tomatoes if need be. Yum!

Tomato-Rosemary Confit Croustades by Cooking on the Weekends
What a great snack or appetizer! The color is so pretty. I can almost taste the crunch of the croustades, the succulent tomato and rosemary… scrumptious.

Provencal Rosemary Tomatoes by Alicia Ross, Kitchen Scoop – Toledo Blade
Can’t you just smell the wonderful aroma of roasting tomato and rosemary? This would be so good with baked chicken or beef roast.

Those tomatoes are remarkably beautiful for this time of year. The recipes have to be good with fresh fare and especially anything with rosemary! Beautiful!
We are in shock over our unexpected winter crop. We’ll definitely have some tasty fun! 🙂
Wo6ld love to take a bite of the roasted tomatoes. Looks so good.
We are enjoying our winter spoils! 🙂
Lovely roundup – I love finding ways to use summer fruits in the winter. Great idea! Thanks so much for including my Tomato-Rosemary Confit Croustades.
Oh, I’m so glad you enjoyed my round-up. I was really excited about finding your recipe… YUM! 🙂
Fresh tomatoes from the garden in January! Wow! I would love to make a good old fashioned BLT! Those recipes all make me wish for summer!
I adore BLT’s! My Lemon Boy plant survived the winter last year, but we didn’t get any January tomatoes. This is a real treat! 🙂
Lord knows I LOVE a good tomato!! They are one of my favorite vegetables. I like to bake cherry tomatoes drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt and pepper. So easy and so delicious. Thanks for all these great recipes.
Tomatoes are my favorite too! LOVE them. Those baked tomatoes sound yummy! 🙂
good for you still having tomatoes. Tomatoes are actually perennials, so it is normal for them to be there for years. It is just that it usually gets to cold in the winter and they have to give up.
Even here in Southern California, our winters get too cold for the tomato plants to survive. I feel so lucky! 🙂
The only tomatoes I get are from the grocery store LOL Right now, the ones I have here are being added to our dinner salads 🙂
Today salad is a great option here as well–it’s 86 degrees outside! Blech! I hate Santa Ana winds. Enjoy your tomatoes, even if they are store bought. LOL 🙂
Oh my gosh! These tomatoes are a beauty! I love this Tomato-Rosemary Confit Croustades recipe. Must check it out 🙂 Gotta love pinterest, right? 🙂
I totally love Pinterest! I can’t believe I resisted signing up for it for so long. Now I’m addicted. I have found some wonderful recipes on there as well as a bunch of other fun stuff. I hope you enjoy these tomato recipes! 🙂
I’d have a tough time choosing between those great recipes. It’s cold and rainy here so I’d have to go with the soup.
That soup does sound delicious and so easy! It’s been very warm here today… so something cool would be good for me tonight. 🙂
Looks great, wish I could get a hold of some fried green tomatoes right now!
Fried green tomatoes is something I’ve never had. What do they taste like?
wow, so many different recipe using tomatoes!! =)
There are tons of different uses for tomatoes–from savory to sweet to just off the vine. You gotta love tomatoes! 🙂
Oh, how I miss our fresh garden grown tomatoes. In New England no hopes of any winter tomatoes without a greenhouse. We do grab a few here and there at the market for BLT’s this time of the year. I’ll have to try some of these come summer time when we have more than enough from the back yard. They all look yummy!
You can always try these (especially the soup) with canned tomatoes. Be sure to freeze some tomatoes for next winter. 🙂
Oh you lucky, lucky duck! Of course we can’t do anything like that here, it’s been down to -5 twice already. Makes me year for my summer garden though! Great recipes. I love cooking with tomatoes.
Tomatoes are good in almost anything aren’t they? You can try these with canned, and don;t forget to freeze some tomatoes for next winter. I have found that they freeze very well. 🙂
I think that would be awesome to have my winter garden back. It takes a lot more thought and work in NE though 🙂
Well, this was a no-brainer… just a happy circumstance. 🙂
I really love tomatoes! I wish I could grow my own, but I don’t get enough sunlight for a garden. Those rosemary tomatoes look divine!
Yes they do! I love tomatoes and rosemary if one of my favorite herbs to work with. 🙂
Yes, I can practically smell the tomato roasting, mm mm good!
Heavenly and delicious! 🙂
Looks like an awesome dip, will have to try it. Sadly the only types of tomatoes we get here are regular ones that don’t really taste nice. I can’t wait for spring to have good tomatoes once again around here.
The soup does look fantastic! I wish the weather were a little cooler so I could give it a try. We are in the middle of Santa Ana winds, which raises our temperatures a lot. IT was 86 degrees here yesterday. ugh…
these are so yummy looking must try a few soon thank you for sharing as i’m always looking for new recipes to try
Good. I hope you enjoy them, Becca! 🙂
I’m not a big fan of tomato’s unless it’s on a burger. I don’t do tomato soups or anything else related to tomatoes. Wish I could say that I like them but there’s just something about them that makes me say “ugh”. 🙂
I load my hamburgers with tomatoes, the more the better! Note everyone can like tomatoes…that’s okay, more for me. 🙂
Oh my goodness, nothing compares to fresh tomatoes from the garden. I have never heard of winter tomatoes! We sure don’t have any of those around here!
These were tomato plants we planted last spring and they are still going! They stopped producing fruit for a while during the fall, but now they are in full fruit again. It’s incredible, and we feel so lucky. 🙂
Yummy you cant beat nice fresh tomatoes from your own garden all makes food taste so much better,thanks for sharing
You’re right, there is nothing better than adding garden fresh to your meal. 🙂
Oh that soup looks so good! I just bought tomatoes today!
It does look delicious, and I’m “souper” excited to try it (as soon as our weather goes back to being cooler). 🙂 I hope you give it a try. Let me know what you think! 🙂
How wonderful you have such an abundance of tomatoes! I have to wait until this summer to put in a garden, so I can’t wait to start growing veggies for us. Those recipes look delish!!! ~Renee
Yep, and with the heat we’ve had this week, we have a lot more tomatoes ripening… Yeah! 🙂
Your tomatoes are mouthwatering. They are plump and fresh. It must be great to have tomato food in cold weather.
It is pretty amazing! However, our weather the past couple of weeks has been unseasonably warm 70s and 80s. We’ve had more summer in January than we did all of June, July, August, and September put together. LOL 🙂
