Our growing season in Minnesota is really short. Last year I had to harvest my giant size Mortgage Lifter tomatoes early because they did not have enough time to ripen before the cold weather set in. This year I decided to grow cherry tomatoes which are supposed to mature quickly. Of course, I did not anticipate that the weather would turn cold earlier and so it looks like I have the same problem once again this year.

With two days of frost last week, I was forced to harvest my entire crop of cherry tomatoes. Both the ripe and green tomatoes weighed about 3¼ pounds with more green than red. I used the ripe tomatoes for this simple and tasty Roasted Cherry Tomatoes side dish and made this Green Tomato Tart with the rest. Thankfully, there are many things I can make with green tomatoes because it is a pity and a waste to thrown them away.

Vine ripen cherry tomatoes are really sweet. They are best eaten fresh with little to no seasoning. In the summer, I like to throw them on the grill in a grill basket when we cook our steaks. This time I had to broil them in the oven and it worked just as nicely. It took only 8 to 10 minutes and they were done. Since I also harvested a whole lot of mint from the garden, I use them as a garnish this time. Fresh basil leaves are a great substitute or you can use a combination of the two, if preferred.
