TO PRESERVE FRESH TOMATOES
Choose ripe tomatoes, medium
size, absolutely whole, perfect, and
without the slightest crack or
bruise. If the tomato has a hole
where the stalk is, drop a little wax
on it. Roll the tomatoes in a clean
cloth and dry well.
Put them carefully into jars with
a large mouth, fill the jars with nut
oil (buile d’arachide) without taste so
that the tomatoes are covered with
a layer of oil an inch deep. On the
oil pour a layer of eau-de-vie (to
prevent the oil from going rancid)
