About Comstock Sauce and Slice

(Solanum lycopersicum). This variety has been grown and loved by Italian immigrant families around Wethersfield, Connecticut, for generations, including the family of Elsie (Preli) Yushkevich, who shared seeds of this variety with Comstock, Ferre and Co. in the 1980s. The gorgeous red fruit grows to a pound or more and contains very few seeds, making this a wonderful dual-purpose type equally at home in home-canned sauce or paste, or atop your favorite garden-fresh sandwich! Elsie’s son, John Yushkevich, told us the seeds are from his mother’s family home in Ferriere, in the northern Italian region of Emilia-Romagna. His family still raises this variety on their farm, and they have been saving the seeds for over 50 years.
