      I harvested the ripe cherries today and will freeze them in batches until I have enough to make a batch of “tomato” sauce. Did you know that brazilian cherries make a very good substitute for tomatoes?

      This is Eugenia uniflora,also known as Brazilian cherry, Barbados cherry, pitanga, Suriname cherry etc.
      Very high in vitamin C which makes it quiet acidic (hence why you can substitute it for tomato in sauce)

      We also have a really good harvest of Brazilian Cherries this year, but for some reason they don’t make it into a tomato sauce….. They are so delicious, they get eaten beforehand!

      I can’t eat them as they are – too sour and the seeds! I have made a sweet sauce in the past but was very impressed when I made a chilli sauce.

      I made my “nomato” sauce today. It honestly tastes very similar to tomato sauce. I might try just cooking them without any seasoning like tomato passata next time.
