Good friend Vivian declared the summer of 2010 to be the summer of the smoked tomato. So, I took every opportunity this summer to hickory smoke delicious fresh tomatoes. Smoked tomatoes were so popular that Nancy requested smoked tomatoes for her October birthday. My patio tomatoes made it October but a frost, just a week before her birthday wiped out the last ones on the vine. I made this delicious tart with grape tomatoes from the supermarket. From the chorus of “mmm”s around the table I don’t think anyone minded. The colors of this tart also make it an ideal Christmas dish.
