Harvests from last week!
- Queen of Malinalco tomatillo! These are weird elongated tomatillos that ripen to a bright yellow and are sweeter than your typical tomatillo cultivar. I also notice that they’re less likely to have the gross sweaty musky smell a lot of tomatillos have when they get too ripe. They also come in fun shapes! The first one looked like soft serve ice cream.
- Jaltomata repandidentata, another nightshade, and one that’s supposedly perennial in our climate. The flavor is sort of like a milder blueberry or huckleberry, which I wasn’t expecting at all from a nightshade. They don’t have the nightshade musk some fruit have at all. They’re not super sweet so they’d probably be good as jamming berries. Though I’ve eaten some that were sweeter than the prepackaged strawberries sold in Safeway!
