Edible parts
Ripe fruit
Recipe idea for your 'Sweet Heart' 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. Distribute a few slivers of garlic between the fruits, ensuring they are not exposed on top. Bake at 200°C (392°F) and monitor until the edges begin to brown. The flesh should soften without disappearing completely 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 cutting: 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 large enough surface so that the juice can evaporate.
