The Perfect Snack: ‘Honey-Glazed Cherry Tomatoes’ Recipe
Hello everyone, this is Seulbi. While thinking about how to enjoy the cherry tomatoes I picked from my garden, I decided to make them into honey-glazed treats. They turned out surprisingly chewy and sweet, and everyone loved them! Please follow and bookmark this recipe! I’ll continue to work hard to bring you more delicious content. ♥
Ingredients- 10 cherry tomatoes
- Hot water (boiled)
- Honey (to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, remove the stems from the fresh cherry tomatoes and wash them thoroughly. Then, make a shallow cross-shaped incision at the bottom of each tomato. I thought this might be difficult, but it was surprisingly easy!
Step 2
Now, we’ll peel the cherry tomatoes. After making the cross-shaped cuts, we need to blanch them. For a simpler method, we’ll use hot water from an electric kettle. Let’s prepare it this way.
Step 3
Boil water in your electric kettle. Once it’s boiling, carefully pour the hot water over the cherry tomatoes that have the cross-shaped cuts. You might hear a gentle pouring sound as the water covers the tomatoes.
Step 4
Let the tomatoes sit in the hot water for about 30 seconds. You’ll be amazed at how easily the skins slip off, especially where the cross-shaped cuts were made. Rinsing them briefly in cold water will help further.
Step 5
Once all the skins are removed, drain the cherry tomatoes well. Place them into an airtight container. Now, pour in the honey. You don’t need to completely submerge the tomatoes; a generous drizzle that coats them well is perfect. Adjust the amount of honey based on the sweetness of your tomatoes and your preference.
Step 6
Close the lid tightly on the honey-coated cherry tomatoes and refrigerate. Let them chill for at least 5 hours. This allows the honey to permeate the tomatoes, making them wonderfully flavorful.
Step 7
Become delicious, ‘shazam’!
Step 8
Since my husband was due home, I took them out after about 10 hours. Due to osmosis, the container had a good amount of honey liquid at the bottom. When I scooped some up with a spoon, it had thickened into a delightful, sticky syrup. It looked incredibly appetizing.
Step 9
These perfectly prepared honey-glazed cherry tomatoes are an ideal dessert after a meal! After eating something spicy like kimchi jjigae, don’t you often crave something like this? The chewy texture and deep sweetness will refresh your palate. Enjoy your delicious treat! ♥
