Cherry Tomato Relish

Cherry tomatoes are one of lifes simple pleasures.  Tomatoes are part of the nightshade family (along with their cousins eggplant, peppers and chillies) and are, in fact, a fruit, but their savoury flavour means that they are generally classified and used as a vegetable.  I particularly enjoy the yellow and the orange varieties as they are sweeter and less acidic than the red varieties.  They are extremely versatile, whether chopped and used in a relish, tossed whole in a salad, or roasted along side some beautiful green asparagus.
