Overview
Comstocks Sauce and Slice is an open-pollinated tomato that tries to do two jobs at once: the fruit is a plum/paste shape yet large enough, around a pound, to cut into slices for a sandwich. Seeds are few, so the flesh is dense and cooks down quickly into sauce. The vines are indeterminate and keep setting fruit until frost, so give them a tall stake or cage and expect a long picking season. Worth growing if you want one plant to cover both the salad bowl and the canning pot.
