Good Bye Tuttorusso...Hello New Jersey!!!!

17 years ago

As far as canned Tomatoes go I know everyone has a brand they prefer. Me I am a Tuttorusso gal (I dont buy anything else) they are from Red GOld Company....Anyway I was shopping last week at Pathmark Supermarket and at the top of the sauce aisle the had a big display of 28oz can crushed tomato for 50 Cents a can...hmmmm I thought how bad can they be I pay 1.89 for my Tuttorusso....so I bought 10 cans.....OMG!! Best canned tomato I have ever had...and when I cook at the holidays I usually go to the Italian Market and by San Marzano...I dont know whats in New Jersey's soil but this is well worth the try...I made all my Holiday gravies and Marinaras from them and got RAVE REVIEWS!!!!! My niece who doesnt cook begged me to make her a couple of containers so she can load up her freezer with my Marinara! The can label is Red White and Green its says in large letters Made with Jersey Fresh "as fresh as it gets" Then in a band it says Ferrante's World Famous Vine Ripe....The best canned in my opinion Im actually going to write the company!!!!

As one who grew up in New Jersey, I know Jersey tomatoes....none better unless they are Iowa vine ripe!!
That's why they call New Jersey "The Garden State."

I'm not sure if it is totally my fault, but the buck stops with me! One label i've found for the sticker indicates to dilute the sticker with ten parts water PRIOR to mixing with the finished spray product in the amount of 2TBS of the diluted sticker mixture..The label online just says 1TBS of sticker per gallon. The label was suspicious enough that I asked in Agway and the manager confirmed for me, or so I thought, that the mixture was simply 2TBS of the bottled sticker per gallon of spray mix. I guess I should have followed my suspicions and just saide to heck with it and stuck with what I've been doing for the past four years......Depending on what label I read for the sticker, I may have applied the equivelent of 10 TBS per gallon if in fact the sticker had to be mixed with ten parts water prior to addition to the spray solution

Annette~ No, I didn't know about Des Kennedy's new book. Thanks! The young lady with the Angora on her lap made keeping them sound suspiciously easy. I think they would have a difficult time in the heat here. Lorna~ I missed the dogs. I knew they had them and I got to hear about the demo after the fact. I figure I missed out on as much as I saw. I have to confess that the drop spinning seems, to me, a little slow. I had no idea there are so many types of spindles and ways of doing it. I was hoping to see someone demonstrating a Navajo spindle, but I didn't see any of that type there. A friend of mine has one and has offered to show me how to do that too. A spinning enabler.

For a selection of perennials far more vast than Waterloo or "Terrain" could hope to stock, don't forget about Groff's Plant Farm in Lancaster Co. (they don't accept credit cards btw) Tripleoaks in New Jersey has a great selection of rare trees & shrubs. I feel like most people I know in the PA Philly suburbs have to cross to the NJ side somewhat often anyhow...just combine a trip there with some other errand, surely, and you no longer have to factor in the bridge toll.

Wow....what an amazing list of people.... too many of them no longer with us or active here. It is nice to remember some of their names and their struggles that we shared. Thanks for the memories.

LOL!!! Frankie says "Thank you very much"!! (he works part time at a Path Mark here in Pa)

Glad to hear you got great results!

I am due to make gravy so I'll have him get a few cans tomorrow so I can try it for myself.

As for Jersey soil...I plan to buy a hunk in the next few weeks!! There should be real Jersey tomotoes in my salsa this summer!!

Cheers!

I'm not surprised. I learned sometime ago the fact that two-thirds of the world's eggplant is grown in New Jersey.

Just curious - have you read the ingredients label? Is there sugar? Anything else?
I recently tried Cento's after seeing it mentioned here - yuck. I think this really is personal taste.

It's funny that NJ has a reputation for being very urban and "gangsterish" when it's really quite agricultural. Nothing beats a Jersey tomato, Jersey peaches, blueberries from Hammonton NJ and Jersey corn.

They just opened a Pathmark in Devon, PA, which I pass on my way home from work so now I can go to the "can-can" sales. I've never shopped Pathmark before.

Another Jersey girl chiming in - yep, we have the best tomatoes! After all, what made Campbell's tomato soup famous? Locally grown Jersey tomatoes.

According to their press release, "Jersey Fresh Crushed Tomatoes are a premium product. It is made with pure, ripe Jersey Fresh Tomatoes. There is no tomato concentrate, no puree, no citric acid, no water and no sugar. It is all spelled out on the label, and no other major brand can make this claim."

If I didn't have 80 quarts of my home-grown canned tomatoes in the pantry, I'd try some. Sounds good!

Well I just got back from a jaunt to Franks store and struck out on this product but did hit a home run cuz I found an ingredient that has been on my list for YEARS!!!'
Canned Cherry Tomatoes!!!!
I saw MaryAnn Esposito make a chicken dish using them and until now I have never seen them but alas, there they were on the aisle so I got 2 cans.

I think the product may be found at tru Path Mark stores. Path Mark was recently bought out by Super Fresh and many stores were changed into Path Marks. There is a tru path Mark not too far from me so I will check there this week.

"IF" I do find them I will be sure to buy as many as I can so I can share with pals here!!

Cheers!

This reminds me of a woman that was on Martha Stewart's show many years ago who canned and canned Jersey tomatoes. They looked so good. Her whole garage was filled with them.
