First Field: You Say Tomato
Spring is in the air. Soon, we’ll see ramps, asparagus, and more popping up at the market. It’s exciting, but the true bounty of high summer is still months away. And if there’s one thing local food lovers are missing most right now, it’s that ripe summer tomato.
The good news is you don’t have to wait another five months for that bold flavor. First Field picks Jersey tomatoes at the peak of ripeness and cans them. Crushed tomatoes from First Field rival any Italian import and make a perfect pizza sauce spooned right out of the can. If you want a pizza sauce with a few more ingredients, the company jars a great one.
Their signature ketchup contains just 2 grams of sugar per serving (less than half of what you’ll find in the big brands). When you start with tomatoes this sweet, little else is needed.
