Mortgage Lifter is a famous heirloom beefsteak tomato variety celebrated for its enormous fruit size, rich flavor, and legendary origins during the Great Depression. It was developed in the early 1930s by Marshall Cletus “Radiator Charlie” Byles of Logan, West Virginia, who, despite having no formal plant-breeding training, spent six years hand-pollinating and crossing four large-fruited tomatoes, including German Johnson and other Italian and English varieties. He sold the resulting seedlings for one dollar each—a premium price at the time—and their exceptional productivity and popularity allowed him to pay off his $6,000 mortgage in just six years, giving rise to the name “Mortgage Lifter.” While other strains exist, such as the Estler Family strain from 1922, Charlie’s version remains the most well known. The plants produce massive pinkish-red, slightly ribbed beefsteak fruits that typically weigh 1 to 2 pounds, with occasional fruits reaching up to 4 pounds. The tomatoes are meaty with few seeds and offer a mild, sweet, low-acid flavor, making them especially prized for slicing, sandwiches, and fresh eating.

Pasilla is the dried form of the Chilaca chile and means little raisin in Spanish. This refers to its appearance with dark brown wrinkled skin. Use this pepper fresh for enchilada sauce or salsas. Use it dried and powdered in Mexican mole sauces. This heirloom is easy to grow. 

Have you used Pasillas before?  They’re a workhorse chile that will frequently pop up in traditional Mexican sauces and salsas.

Like most dried chiles, they have a different name than their fresh counterpart.  So to get a Pasilla chile you need to start with a ripe Chilaca chile.  De-hydrate it and you’ve got a Pasilla on your hands.

You may also see Pasillas referred to as Pasilla Negro chiles or Chile Negros.Narrow 8-10" peppers are mildly hot with a sweet flavor when fresh, and a rich smoky flavor when dried.
