Mike doesn't like them for some reason, maybe it is the appearance - he tells me he just wants the big red "regular" tomatoes LOL. I used the Cherokee Purple tomatoes to make a spaghetti sauce, and it was by far the tastiest sauce I had ever managed to make. The consistency was a little thin though, so I still need to work on some kind of thickening method. The first Cherokee Purple is ripened this season, and I picked up everything else I need for BLTs on my way home from work yesterday - all set for lunch today

Little ones you might want to try are SunChocola, Chocolate Cherry, Chocolate Pear, Garnett. All have nice dark tomato flavor in a smaller package. I am simply loving the SunChocola this year.

But my very favorite small dark this year is a very little known one called Ambrosia Giant.

Absolutely fabulous dark tomato flavor and sweet too. I just can't get enough of them.
