Edible parts
Ripe fruit
Recipe idea for your 'Chocolate Sprinkles' 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 drizzle with 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 completely dissolving into juice. Toss the 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 fruits bite-sized and divide larger tomatoes into easy-to-eat pieces. Very juicy flesh is best added to fresh dishes at the last moment. For roasting, use a sufficiently large surface area so that the juice can evaporate.
