Edible parts

Ripe fruit
Recipe idea for your Indigo Rose 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 watch them 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 pasta cooking water, then finish with fresh basil and pepper. The size of the fruit dictates how to cut it: keep small fruits whole and divide larger tomatoes into bite-sized pieces. Very juicy flesh is best added at the last minute to fresh preparations. For roasting, use a sufficiently large surface area to allow the juice to evaporate.
