Comments on: Tomato Pie http://straightfromthefarm.net/2009/09/12/tomato-pie/ In the kitchen with truly fresh produce Fri, 10 Feb 2012 22:28:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Joan Sullivan http://straightfromthefarm.net/2009/09/12/tomato-pie/#comment-74578 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 01:49:08 +0000 http://straightfromthefarm.net/?p=2047#comment-74578 I just discovered this blog while searching for information about tomato pie. In winter, if one didn’t have access to decent tomatoes, or to ones canned from the summer, would it be possible to make up a good sauce with canned tomatoes such as San Marzano tomatoes? If so, what would the substitution quantity be to use your recipe? Would you make any other adjustments for canned tomatoes? I realize the idea of canned might be “heresy” to some, but fresh are not always available, and the hothouse ones I think would be awful.

Thank you for any insights you might have on this.

I’ve been looking for a good cheese-less pizza. I think I’ll try this with some vegan ‘parmesan’ cheese sprinkled on top. Thanks for the recipe!

Of the three cups of flour I made two of them WW and it was still delish… might only do one cup next time to have a more authentic pizza flava’…

Watering is something that I can do! :-D I think I usually just get too busy to feed the plants after initially getting them started in a good mix of potting soil, compost, and sphagnum. Our cherry tomatoes did just fine, but the san marzano variety we planted produced smallish tomatoes with tough skins and many of them were only usable when you chopped off the Frankensteinesque blossom end rot section. We did get some use out of them, at least. My partner has said, “We’re not going to bother growing tomatoes or peppers in containers again… it’s just not worth it.” To clarify, though, he means it’s not “worth” it because we can get such great peppers and tomatoes at our Farmer’s Market that it might make more sense to use our little bit of space to grow things we can’t get. But DO send me the link for the self-watering thingie. That sounds interesting and could help with lots of things! Thanks!

Consistent watering is all tomatoes really need, which is tough when they are in a container. But I have a relatively easy homemade solution to that if you are relatively handy with a drill? I can send you a site that details how to build a self-watering container for water-sensitive plants (tomatoes can take up several pints a day when they are producing and suffer greatly if they don’t get it). That being said, I also got a good crop out of the two plants I had in regular old containers too, though the year was really rainy so they never got terribly stressed out. As for peppers in container, mine never seem to be happy either. Still haven’t cracked their “code”. :(

I was the proud recipient of a basket of homegrown tomatoes from an out-of-state relative, recently, and I enjoyed turning the lot of them into pasta and pizza sauce for the freezer. I’m looking forward to summer memories, this winter!

Your tomatoes look great, by the way. My one experiment with growing them in containers was mostly heartache. We got lots of tomatoes, but about 50% of them developed blossom end rot. I don’t think we could be persuaded to try tomatoes or peppers in containers again, but if we were to, I think we’d also look into making compost tea because I’ll bet that would combat at least some of the causes of blossom end rot.

I was just planning on making a homemade pizza soon and this looks like a great variation.

I love all the home grown stuff, always tastes the best, and I would love to try this recipe.
Looks pretty darned good!
