Tomatillo Purple

TL101
(Physalis subglabrata) Beautiful purple fruit, large size. Many are a bright violet color throughout their flesh. Much sweeter than the green types; it can be eaten right off the plant. Turns purple when ripe; rare!



I picked several flats and removed the husks and let them ripen to a deep Merlot color indoors. I also made a batch that I chopped in the food processor and I liked the consistency better than the tomatillos run through the food mill

I also did not dip the ones I ran through food processor in boiling water and they remained a much darker purple, even through the boiling water bath.

You can also add or subtract the amount of sugar to your preference. Mine were pretty darn sweet so I only used two cups of sugar.

This salsa looks GORGEOUS over the white chicken breasts or the the white pork.

The juice stains like a son-of-a-gun (kind of like Pomegranate...)

I canned mine in 1/2 pints because a little goes a long way over the meats.
