Cherry Tomatoes

If you’ve never tried a Bloody Mary In Your Mouth – perhaps it’s time!! It’s a silly and fun way to use up the abundance of cherry tomato’s you might have!!

Bloody Mary’s In Your Mouth

These are simply a taste sensation not an opportunity to get loaded! You have to try it to know what I mean. This recipe originated from Jeff Smith’s Frugal Gourmet.

Boil water, drop in cherry tomatoes, remove when skins split, chill and peel.   Dip a cherry tomato in frozen vodka, meaning very cold vodka that’s been in the freezer. Dip in kosher salt and pop in your mouth. YUM!

This year I’ve experimented with a variety of vodka’s. The best to date is Absolute  Pepper. I typically don’t drink vodka or keep hard liquor around so when I want to do something like this I just buy those little bottles!!
