Stan, I don't know what varieties you have over there, look out for an
Italian plum or beefsteak type
Then give it loads of potash
Pick only when fully ripe
Go VERY EASY on the water
Freeze them (raw) rather than canning if possible, where the heat will
change the flavour.

Sorry you missed my previous notes, but above says it all on flavour
