Instructions:

1. Harvest with Care: Gently pluck the ripest tomatoes from your garden. Opt for those with vibrant colors and a firm, yet slightly yielding texture.
2. Wash and Prep: Rinse the tomatoes under cool running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel. Remove the stem and any blemishes.
3. Slice or Dice: Depending on your culinary plans, slice the tomatoes for sandwiches, burgers, or salads. Alternatively, dice them for sauces, salsas, or bruschettas.
4. Preserve the Freshness: For immediate use, store sliced or diced tomatoes in the refrigerator. To preserve the harvest, consider freezing or canning for later use.
5. Savor the Simple Joy: Whether enjoyed fresh in a salad or incorporated into a savory dish, relish the simple joy of homegrown tomatoes that burst with flavor.
