Amish Paste Tomato

My favorite tomato. It's great for canning, salads, or burgers. It has very few seeds and is extremely meaty making it amazing for canning. the taste if great and I've grown them in a little shade in the past and not lost flavor or production. I've gotten as many as 20 tomatoes the size of a 15 ounce can off one plant. Highly recommend this tomato.

Grew taller than my single story house. Great rich flavor makes a nice sandwich and soup/sauce. Very versatile just have to keep pinching the suckers off as this variety suckers heavy. Grown in North county San diego.

I have had several tomatoes this year that were between 13 oz and 1 lb. Highly recommend these, they are wonderful for making pasta and pizza sauce. I also like to slice and dehydrate them.

Great producer, few seeds, nice flavor and not heavily watery. Very enjoyable all-around tomato for slicing and canning.

I have grown Amish Paste tomatoes for years and will continue to do so however I have one caution, they develop blossom end rot easily if grown in containers with commercial soil. I have grown tomatoes for decades and never had trouble with blossom end rot until I tried to grow these in containers. We live in Northern Nevada where there is sufficient calcium in the native soil, the Amish Paste tomatoes do well in our native soil, even producing well in our windy arid climate at 5000+ feet elevation!

This is the best tomato I have found for marinara sauce. Great for canning; much better than San Marzano.

First year trying these. Great Flavor. Good size

I tried these this year, a truly amazing tomato. It is late to ripen but well worth the wait. These are huge plum tomatoes. Superior flavor superior color. Be advised that they get very tall, my plants were 8 feet tall. I will plant these again

I can see why everyone loves this tomato. For several years I've tried to find a paste tomato that will handle our extreme weather (heat, strong winds, zone 5) and not have blossom end rot. This has been the winner. I got probably 50+ lbs off 5 tightly spaced plants (gave them 2' X 8' in a raised bed). They're delicious fresh, and the sauce they made is an incredibly vibrant red. It did take a while to get the fruit to ripen, I had to bring in some green on the stem, but held them in open cardboard boxes and they all ripened to bright red within 3 weeks.

I really wanted to love Amish Paste, and gave it several tries over several years. The result was always the same - an inch and a half of green shoulders that remained hard even when the bottom of the tomatoes were left on the vine until nearly rotten. I was happy with the parts that ripened, but I was throwing away too much of just about every tomato. I needed to find something that worked better in my Michigan garden.

Paste tomatoes are the best tomatoes ever. Paste tomatoes are also great to use as slicers. They are not too watery and not too dry!

Tip; slice them widthwise.
