Some Like it Hot

Janet Groene’s
HOThouse Tomatoes
   

 We aren’t talking tomatoes from a greenhouse. We are talking hot! Caliente! Scorching! Tongue-tingling heat! This one is for cooks who like to kick it over the goalpost. Now that gardens and farm markets are spilling over with tomatoes we are finally getting our fill of these juicy, healthful red gems.
     This recipe can be made with any sliced tomatoes but I like Romas here because each piece comes out of the dish in one delectable fireball. Warning: It’s hot, so save out some plain tomatoes for people who can’t handle spicy foods.


About 20 Roma tomatoes
3/4 cup apple cider vinegar
½ cup water
2 teaspoons celery salt
1/4 cup sugar

½ teaspoon each cayenne pepper and ground black pepper

    Cut tomatoes in half across the equator and stand them up, cut side up,  in a 9 X 13-inch casserole. Fill the dish completely with pretty rows of tomatoes, cheek to cheek.
    In a saucepan stir remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Cool mixture, then drizzle evenly over tomatoes. Cover with plastic wrap and chill several hours. Serves 6 to 8.
