Tomato is a fruit, right?

I'm tired of savory tomatoes. It's time for a culinary experiment! Using flavors that are often combined with tomato, I've made a candied tomato treat that should be pretty nummy...right now it's time to wait a bit while the oven does its work. The recipe for candied tomatoes my way is below. :)

9 homegrown cherry tomatoes
3 tsp. powdered sugar
1 key lime
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 tsp. turbinado sugar

Heat oven to 200 degrees Farenheit. Prepare a cookie sheet by lining it with parchment papaer.

Cut cherry tomatoes in half and place in a small bowl. Squeeze the juice from your key lime onto the tomatoes. Add in powdered sugar and cinnamon, stirring to evenly coat tomatoes.

Place tomatoes on parchment paper, and drizzle remaining sauce on top. Sprinkle with the turbinado sugar, and place in the oven for 2-5 hours until shriveled and slightly chewy. Enjoy! :) This snack should serve 2 people....or maybe just one if it's as tasty as I think it might be...I'll let you know. :)
