Edible parts

Ripe fruits
Recipe idea for your Marriage Big Brandy F1 tomato harvest. Make an open-faced sandwich using large slices of ripe tomato. Toast a thick slice of rustic bread sturdy enough to soak up the juice without falling apart. Lightly rub the warm crumb with a clove of garlic, then spread with fresh cheese or ricotta. Slice the tomato crosswise to reveal the flesh and seed cavities. Arrange them on the bread, add a drizzle of olive oil, and a few basil leaves. Season with salt at the last moment. For a more complete meal, serve the sandwich with a white bean and crisp leaf salad. The size of the fruit determines how you cut it: keep smaller fruits for bite-sized pieces and divide larger tomatoes into easy-to-eat chunks. Very juicy flesh is best added at the last minute to fresh dishes. For cooking, use a wide surface so the juice can evaporate.
