i love green toms...thanks this looks very tasty!

hey no problem guys, that WAS my first attempt, and i found let the toms drain COMPLETELY before you put them in the cake, and they taste like a tangy apple, like bromleys actually also, serve with a drop or two of balsamic vinager, to take the sweet bite off.
