Welcome to Mississippi Tomato Syrup!
To a kitchen in Long Beach, Mississippi for an unusual solution to a typical growing season problem
Evelene Briggs had too many tomatoes one year.
And invented something we may all end up liking.
They say it's America's favorite vegetable to grow in home gardens, the tomato.
And actually it's a berry.
But for culinary purposes, we use it like a vegetable.
And we plant a dozen vines and have a thousand tomatoes by the peak of the season.
That's where Evelene Briggs of Long Beach was one year when she decided to get inventive.
Evelene Briggs: My dad was a big farmer. He raised all kinds of veggies, just an over plus of tomatoes. And I remember so well one summer evening just playing around in the kitchen, you know. Mother had got through with her canning, there were some extra tomatoes. I scalded them and pealed them. Just playing around, put a little sugar. "That taste pretty good." Put a
little something else. "That pretty good." So really it's more or less like a clean out the pantry recipe.
