Edible parts

Ripe fruit
Recipe idea for your Sweet'N'Neat F1 Scarlet 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. Distribute a few slivers of garlic between the fruits, making sure they aren't exposed on top. Bake at 200°C (392°F) and monitor the cooking until the edges begin to brown. The flesh should soften without dissolving completely into the juice. Mix 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 it: keep the small ones whole and cut the larger tomatoes into bite-sized pieces. Very juicy flesh is best added at the last minute to fresh preparations. For roasting, use a large enough surface so that the juice can evaporate.
