These firm but juicy tomatoes burst with the flavor of the sun. They take no time to prepare, but need a long time in the oven and smell fantastic while cooing. Plum tomatoes have less moisture and work well, but you can use any vine ripened variety, just as long as they have some taste.Unknown Source
