Edible parts

Ripe fruits

Recipe idea for your Indigo Blue Berries cherry tomato harvest. Roast the small tomatoes on a tray 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 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 dissolving into the juices. Toss the still-warm tomatoes with short pasta and a little pasta water, then finish with fresh basil and pepper. The size of the fruit dictates how to cut it: keep small fruits whole and cut larger tomatoes into bite-sized pieces. Very juicy flesh is best added at the last moment to fresh preparations. For roasting, use a large enough surface so that the juices can evaporate.
