Ashlanders know summer isn't complete without the delectable taste of Hanover tomatoes. Their rich flavor and juiciness inspire Homemades by Suzanne to create some of the most delightful tomato dishes of the season. These local tomatoes, with their intense flavor, provide the perfect foundation for Suzanne's culinary masterpieces.
What makes Hanover tomatoes so delicious? It’s all about the unique environment in which they are grown. The coastal soil in Hanover County is sandy, with just the right pH level and water retention. This combination, along with the county's natural slope, creates ideal conditions for growing tomatoes. Hanover County’s climate contributes to the tomatoes’ flavor, offering the perfect balance of rain, sun, and soil to grow ripe, juicy fruits.
Inspired by these top-quality tomatoes, Homemades by Suzanne offers a mouth-watering menu featuring these local gems. The 2024 menu includes…
🍅 Hanover Tomato Pies
🍅 Chilled Gazpacho
🍅 Tomato Stuffed Suzanne’s Salads
One of the standout items is Homemades by Suzanne’s Hanover Tomato Pies. Each season, hundreds of these full-sized pies are baked, and mini pies are a hit at the restaurant’s afternoon tea parties. Advanced orders are already being placed, with an option for a gluten-free crust upon request. “The Hanover Tomato Pie sells out quickly, so ordering ahead is recommended,” Suzanne emphasizes.
The secret to Suzanne’s delicious Hanover Tomato dishes lies in the quality of the ingredients: real butter, the finest mayonnaise, and, of course, fresh-grown Hanover Tomatoes. “Some say it’s the sandy soil. I think God just likes Hanover best!” Suzanne says with a smile.
