00:00Is it hard for you to eat a tomato? Why not make it more yummy?
00:09Candy that must be healthy? It can be made with tomato candy.
00:15This is the favorite of our wonder, Merini.
00:19She said that since she was young, tomatoes are close to her heart.
00:23When I was young, my father used to farm.
00:28Until I got married, my husband is a farmer.
00:33He grows tomatoes.
00:36She said that growing vegetables and tomatoes is the main livelihood of her family.
00:42Because they are from Nueva Vizcaya, they grow tomatoes.
00:46Mostly, tomatoes are the number one export of Nueva Vizcaya.
00:54Buyers buy it and send it to Manila.
01:00But because of El Nino, some places were affected by it and were not able to harvest.
01:07Because of the high price of tomatoes in the market.
01:11But according to Merini, this only happens sometimes.
01:13Because of the low price of tomatoes, there is an oversupply.
01:20When the tomatoes are in a cold temperature, they turn reddish.
01:26It is good for the tomatoes to ripen.
01:29It is still big.
01:31We are now on top of a mountain.
01:34This is where we grow our tomatoes.
01:37Because of the cold weather, the tomatoes are more fruitful.
01:48Because of her love and hate relationship with tomatoes, she decided to make it more profitable.
01:54Last year, I was disappointed with the tomatoes we planted.
01:58Because they were really trashed.
02:01That's why I asked my husband to bring back the tomatoes we harvested.
02:03I rinsed it with tomato candy, powder, and gummies.
02:12That's why Merini will teach us how to make tomato candy.
02:17It is perfect for those who love sweets.
02:21We need sugar and salt.
02:25And of course, tomatoes.
02:27When the tomatoes are ready, and Merini's tip,
02:31we need to remove the seeds so that it won't be watery.
02:39In a pan, add 1 cup water, brown sugar, salt, and tomatoes.
02:45When it boils for 15 minutes, add the lemon.
02:50This will help remove the smell of the tomatoes.
02:53Wait for it to soften before removing it from the pan.
02:59Hello, Kawanders! We can now peel our tomato candy.
03:04While we wait for the tomato candy to dry,
03:07Merini will teach us another recipe for sweet tooth jam.
03:12Next, we'll make tomato jam.
03:16It's the same ingredients, but it's a bit different.
03:20It's the same ingredients, but we'll give it a twist.
03:27Here, we need to crush the tomatoes.
03:32Let it boil, and when it dries and thickens, you'll have tomato jam.
03:37The bread is ready.
03:40She hasn't tried selling her tomato recipe online yet.
03:44There's no signal in their area.
03:46That's why she's letting her neighbors and kids try it.
03:57It's delicious.
03:59What's inside?
04:01Candy.
04:03It's delicious.
04:05What does it taste like?
04:07It's sweet.
04:09But the number one fan of her tomato dishes is her daughter, John Merin.
04:15That's why we decided to work as a farm wife.
04:19I have a daughter who was diagnosed with autism when she was 20.
04:27She's a severe level 3.
04:30That's why we decided to push farming.
04:35That's the only way we can help our daughter financially.
04:41Our daughter is in therapy.
04:45It's good for eating, but when it comes to tomatoes, it's approved.
04:49It's also helpful for her daughter's healthy diet.
04:54Tomatoes are not just ingredients in dishes.
04:57It can also be a yummy dessert.
05:00It's not just good for the heart, it's good for everyone.
