Unlike other cherry tomatoes, the black cherries don't have as much water and are very meaty. They're also very sweet with smoky overtones. With cherry tomatoes in general, color is the primary interest but with black cherry tomatoes you get flavor and looks! Great for snacking and salads.

Applications:

They're also perfect for a chunky gazpacho and pasta. For pasta, cook down the cherry tomatoes just until they burst. Shave some fine cheese over it. Poach cherry tomatoes in olive oil on the vine, cut off the vine but leave the stem and finish on fish. Serve tomato tartlets as first course with arugula and vinaigrette. Use a simple pie dough and mix in herbs like basil or tarragon. Grill breads with tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil and some salt. Roast tomatoes, puree them and use them to make a vinaigrette. Make tomato water and put it in a little glass as an amuse. Tomato water is good with fish. You can also make it into a granita with simple syrup.
