I've grown plum tomatoes for many years for making chutney. The first were San Marzano and then over the years new varieties have appeared. There was 'Big Mama' and then for the last few years 'Super Mama', F1 Hybrid for greenhouse growing or outside in a good year. They can be up to 5 inches long and my biggest this year weighed 8oz each, although according to information on websites they can weigh 1lb each- but I've never seem them that big.
They are good for chutney as they peel easily after being plunged in boiling water, have very little juice and hardly any seeds.
I've now got over 4lb in the freezer - plenty for making a big batch of chutney just in case I don't grow any next year although I probably will.
Back Soon
