Okay, I got zillions of cherry tomatoes. We have eaten them fresh until I think we will pop!! I'm nearly sick of picking them. What can you do with cherry tomatoes? |

Okay, I cheat.
I freeze them whole with the peels on. Then I throw them in stews about ten to fifteen minutes before I serve. I run them under hot water and slip off the skins, and throw them in. When they're heated through but not disintegrating, I serve. Nice little individual tomato-ey bites.
I used to can them, too. They're labor intensive because of the blanch and peel routine, but I'd pack them into jars with garlic, lots of oregano, a bit of finely chopped onion, thyme, and top with hot tomato juice. I can't remember the processing time, though. No reason you couldn't freeze them this way; but freezing them individually first and then running under hot water really makes the skins slip easily.
I also like them pretty much like Erin does, but I use chunks of smoked mozzarella and artichoke hearts. Just a plain high quality olive oil and a good balsamic vinegar does fine for me, with some oregano sprinkled in.
I love tomatoes with oregano; could you tell?  |

I like them as a salad with black olives and mozzarella cheese balls, drenched in an italian dressing.

My favourite is in Greek salad with feta and black olives and an Italian style dressing, ie oil, garlic, vinegar. You can add cucumber and lettuce and onions if you wish.

Saute with a fruity olive oil and slice garlic until the garlic is soft and the tomatoes start to burst. Excellent side dish!

Check out the recipe I posted on my country pleasures blog, you can pick them green for the tomatoe jello jam recipe, I think they'd be really good for that!

I slice them in half, gently squeeze out seeds and dehydrate them. They're handy for winter soups.

Hi there
I use cherry tomato's much the same as any others, tomato chutney or any chutney that contains tomato's, I find they give a really lovely flavour. Much better than larger tomato's. I am afraid they take longer to peel but well worth it.
