What to do if you have another washed out summer? Well, apart from packing your things and heading for the hills, or even better the beaches you could make moonblush tomatoes.
I got the recipe from Nigella's Feast. I think these are much better than sundried tomatoes, much juicier, really flavourful and delicious. They are perfect for salads, picnics or a buffet table. They do take all night to make (that's of course where the moonblush comes from), but they are absolutely minimum effort and maximum outcome.
Moonblush Tomatoes
500g (about 24) on-the-vine cherry or other baby tomatoes
2 teaspoons Maldon salt or 1 teaspoon table salt
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 x 15ml tablespoons olive oil
Preheat the oven to 220C / gas mark 7.
Cut the tomatoes in half and sit them cut side up in an ovenproof dish.
Sprinkle with the salt, sugar, thyme and olive oil.
Put them in the oven, and immediately turn it off.
Leave the tomatoes in the oven overnight or for a day without opening the door.

Yum! Those tomatoes look delish!
When mom and dad were in the lake District recently I asked them to look for "sub-blushed" tomatoes for me. It looks like they are the same thing as "moon blushed".No matter what they are called they are surely delicious!!
wonderful, something new to do with my bajillions of tomatoes :) thanks!
What a nice name! I've never heard of it before. Sounds delish.
Great! They look delicious and another great use for tomatoes!

I love the name of these tomatoes, and that you can just turn the oven off and leave them to do their thing!

Love any thing that doesn't need tending. fabulous.
Sylvie, I have made moonblush tomatoes last weekend. They were great. Thanks for that easy peasy recipe. I have posted one photo on flickr of them.
I made these last year and they were fabulous! They're great with pasta but I could eat loads of them on there own.
I've been wondering whether this recipe was any good as I spied it too. Pleased to hear that it is - I too find sundried tomatoes a little too... dry... sometimes!
absolutely lovely!

I have to agree with them, those tomatoes looks delicious.
