'Grill' Cherry tomato

NarnianGarden · June 21, 2015

I found something in the supermarket that was surprisingly good. Normally, I do not buy tomatoes..( I prefer to wait for my own!) but these peaked my curiosity.
They were cherry tomatoes on the vine, marketed for grilling - the packet came with olive oil and spices ready to be thrown to the oven. But the cherry toms were way too tasty for grilling, instead I snacked on them and used them in a salad.
It would be a shame to put something so sweet on the grill - they were plump, juicy, sweet, and still very firm. Ideal for salads! For grilling, any sour tasting tomato will do just fine, the heat balances it out.
I wish I could find such firm and sweet cherries somewhere for growing... probably a Dutch bred variety. I knew better than save seeds from what probably was a commercial hybrid, but i wish i could find such great variety for homegrowing.
