Cherry Tomatoes are globe-shaped and weigh about a half ounce to one ounce each. The perfect cherry tomato will be firm, thin and smooth-skinned and it will have excellent flavor and juiciness, balancing acid and sweetness perfectly.

Though Cherry Tomatoes are perfect for eating as-is fresh, cooking will enhance their sweetness and add depth to their flavour. Consider blanching and peeling the skin, flash blistering on the grill to impart smokiness, and making a sauce with mature fruit.
