Try an experiment if you will.

Pick 4 tomatoes showing good color but about a week from ripe.

Mark 1 tomato and put it aside as a control.

Run a pot of tap water 125 degrees F.

Place the 3 tomatoes in the pot with a saucer on top to hold them down.

After 5 minutes, remove the tomatoes and allow them all to ripen on the counter for a week.

After a week taste the tomatoes and see if the flavor isn't back on the ones that had the hot water bath. Claud
