With the Caribbean enjoying summer weather all year round, certain vegetables and fruits are always in season. There may be a lull in availability as we wait for the crop to mature, but we can always count on getting certain ingredients. Such is the case with tomatoes.
The variety of tomatoes often found in these parts is English Tomatoes but we also get Cherry Tomatoes and Beef Steak Tomatoes.
