Ingredients

• 30 pieces Cherry tomatoes
• 200 grams Thinly sliced ham (preferably prosciutto or smoked ham)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the cherry tomatoes. Cut a small slice off the bottom of each tomato so they can stand upright when plated.

Step 2

Use a small spoon or melon baller to carefully scoop out the seeds and pulp from each tomato, creating a small hollow. Set the hollowed tomatoes aside.

Step 3

In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until it begins to foam.

Step 4

Add the sliced ham to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until it starts to crisp up and releases some of its fat.

Step 5

Sprinkle the brown sugar over the ham and stir well. Cook for another 2 minutes until the sugar melts and begins to caramelize.

Step 6

Add the apple cider vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard to the skillet. Stir continuously and let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes until it thickens to a marmalade-like consistency.

Step 7

Stir in the fresh thyme leaves, then season the marmalade with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 8

Using a small spoon, fill each hollowed cherry tomato with a generous amount of the ham marmalade.

Step 9

Drizzle the filled tomatoes with a light touch of olive oil for added shine and flavor.

Step 10

Arrange the tomatoes on a serving platter and garnish with additional thyme leaves if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
