It's probably wise to make these Blistered Cherry Tomatoes every day for the entire month of August.

The current scene in my kitchen is pretty awesome if you ask me. My countertops look like the most colorful jewelry box made of tons of different produce that I hauled home from the market this past weekend. They are lined with gorgeous cherry tomatoes, bright and colorful pluots, a variety of different melons and all sorts of other colorful gems. Summer is without a doubt my favorite time for produce because it's all so vibrant and cheerful, cherry tomatoes in particular! Half the time I pop these tomatoes in my mouth like candy, and the other half of the time I transform them into these Blistered Cherry Tomatoes and can then live on top of any main course or act as a side dish. They'd also be excellent on top of some homemade naan as a quick and easy lunch.

Made this last nice and served it as a side dish! Super easy, super delicious!!!!!! And so gorgeous on the table. Definitely will make again soon, like tomorrow!

Mine have been in an iron skillet on med/high heat with a little oil for ....ol, maybe 15 mins! Still no color. boo. Will just try to be patient and continue to resist stirring.
