JERSEY DEVIL

(Solanum lycopersicum). A unique, pepper-shaped fruit in vivid crimson color from New Jersey, this variety is essential for bright red, robust sauce and equally suited for fresh eating. Tomatoes average 6 inches in length and are very meaty with few seeds. A later maturing variety, but so worth the wait, as the flavor is incredible and the yields are high. It was a pillar of the once legendary New Jersey tomato growing industry and is an ancestor to “Jersey Giant.” This has been one of Jere Gettle’s favorites for decades. Don’t try to make an authentic New Jersey style pizza without this sauce!
