I am no longer green with tomatillo envy. At the Festival of Flowers, I was able to pick up a pineapple tomatillo! You wait until they fall off the vine and they you can eat them straight. The saleswoman said they taste sweet and her son goes around gathering them up and eating them before she gets a chance. You can also make pineapple salsa with them. Hooray for finding something new. I popped it into the ground immediately.
I'm growing that one too and can't wait to taste it. I do wish I had planted a green tomatillo though.
ReplyDeletei know! i remember you mentioning it- im excited too.
ReplyDeleteso are the similar to regular tomatillos? I may have tomato envy - I only have green ones and some ground cherries...
ReplyDeletei think these are sweet. i wouldnt eat regular tomatillos straight off the vine like it was suggested to me to eat these.
ReplyDeleteHey! I planted pineapple mint on my roof in a barrel (not everyone has dirt lying around like you) and it smells like pineapple and I think it will make spectacular mojitos. Why is pineapple being spliced into things?
ReplyDeleteOh p.s. I have the Fonda San Miguel Cookbook and it has a salsa de tomatillo recipe in it that I must share. Let me know when you're harvesting!
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone have a good recipe for pineapple tomatillo salsa?
ReplyDeleteI have just finished canning tomatoe preserves and have many plants of tomatillos and thought I could do the same with the green ones that fall off the vine. I eat the yummy gold sweet ones before I can get them home. Has anyone a receipe for making preserves out of the tomatillos?
ReplyDeleteYour pineapple tomatillos plants looks really great. Do you have photo of the fruit itself? I bought them at a farmers market and this is how they look at http://desigrub.com/2010/10/pineapple-tomatillo/ . I would love to hear your comments.
