Edible parts

Ripe fruit
Recipe idea for your Cherry Blast F1 cherry tomato harvest. Roast the small tomatoes on a baking sheet to concentrate their flavor. Cut them in half, place them cut-side up, and add a drizzle of olive oil. Tuck a few slivers of garlic between the fruits, making sure they aren't exposed on top. Bake at 200 °C (392 °F) and keep an eye on them until the edges start to brown. The flesh should soften without completely dissolving 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 dictates how to cut them: keep small fruits whole and divide larger tomatoes into bite-sized pieces. Very juicy flesh is best added at the last minute to fresh dishes. For roasting, use a large enough surface so the juice can evaporate.
