Elizabeth's Tumbled Tomatoes Maria

I think tomatoes are probably the best thing that comes from the earth!  Many years ago, I started making [herbs de Provence-seasoned] tumbled tomatoes as a simple snack and cocktail nibble. If you love tomatoes, you will love them. It is the simplest recipe but it is a favorite of nearly everyone I know. This is my South of the Border version made with Tequila and The Seasoned Pantry Gulf of Mexico salt and spices.

Serves 4-6

½          cup Blanco Tequila such as Herradura

2          pints cherry tomatoes

¼          cup The Seasoned Pantry Gulf of Mexico salt + spices

            Toothpicks for serving

1. Wash tomatoes in cold water and remove all excess water, but do not dry.
2. Prick tomatoes with a toothpick so that the tequila can seep into the tomatoes.
3. Toss tomatoes with tequila until they are evenly mixed. Refrigerate in a re-closeable freezer bag, and toss occasionally while being refrigerated.
4. Serve chilled using the Bamboozle Prep ‘n Serve with toothpicks and a side bowl of The Seasoned Pantry Gulf of Mexico salt + spices for dipping.
