Edible parts
Ripe fruit
Recipe idea for your Pink Cupcake F1 tomato harvest. For a salad where the tomatoes take center stage, cut the ripe fruit into wedges or thick slices and arrange them in a shallow dish. Thinly slice a small shallot, then add it along with a few hand-torn basil leaves. Whisk together olive oil and a little cider vinegar, and drizzle this vinaigrette over just before serving. Add salt gradually to keep the fruit's flavor in the foreground. If desired, add pieces of fresh cheese and toasted bread. Spoon the juices from the bottom of the dish over the final bites. Let the size of the fruit guide how you cut it: keep small tomatoes bite-sized and divide larger ones into easy-to-eat pieces. Very juicy flesh is best added to a fresh preparation at the last minute. When cooking, use a sufficiently large surface so the juices can evaporate.
