Enjoy of delightful way to mix a little summer flavor into these lovely jars.

1. Wash and pad dry the cherry tomatoes. In a small pot bring the sugar and water together with the rest of the ingredients to a boil until the sugar has dissolved. Add the cherry tomatoes and reduce the heat to a soft simmer.

2. Let simmer uncovered for about 20 min, the tomatoes should have turned soft, but still hold their shape (some skins may have pulled away from the fruits, that’s ok).

3. Fill into (sterilized) a jar using a funnel tube, close the lid and leave to cool on the counter before storing them in the fridge. I usually don’t use sterilized jars here, because I know these tiny treats rarely make it into their second week, so I cannot make predictions how long these would keep.

4. And by all means - feel free to experiment with different spices and herbs. The yellow tomatoes in the picture were cooked with fresh sage, another jar I did earlier this year featured star anise quite prominently.

Enjoy!
