Edible parts

Ripe fruit
Recipe idea for your Apple Red F1 cherry tomato harvest. Roast the small tomatoes on a baking sheet to concentrate their flavor. Slice them in half, place them cut-side up, and add a drizzle of olive oil. Distribute a few thin slices of garlic between the fruits, making sure they are not exposed on top. Bake at 200 °C (392 °F) and monitor the cooking until the edges begin to brown. The flesh should soften without completely disappearing into the juice. Toss the still-warm tomatoes with short pasta and a little cooking water, then finish with fresh basil and pepper. The size of the fruit guides the cut: keep small fruits whole and divide larger tomatoes into easy-to-eat pieces. Very juicy flesh is best added at the last moment to fresh preparations. For roasting, use a sufficiently large surface so that the juice can evaporate.
