Gardener's Delight

Gardener's Delight tomatoesfrom our plot

A sweet, heavy-cropping cherry tomato, and the one a lot of us grew first. Forgiving, too — it will crop happily through August even when you've slipped away on holiday and left it to the weather. A kind plant to learn on, and a kinder one to come home to.

Slow-roasted cherry tomatoes

Halve them, lay them cut-side up on a tray, drizzle with olive oil and scatter with thyme and a little garlic. An hour at 140°C and they turn soft and jammy and dark at the edges — summer kept in a jar of oil for later.
