Wash the cherry tomatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

In a large baking dish, drizzle the olive oil evenly to coat the bottom.

Season the tomatoes with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

In a small bowl, mix the port wine, honey, and balsamic vinegar until well combined. Pour the mixture evenly over the tomatoes.

Step 9

Gently toss the tomatoes again to ensure they are well coated with the liquid and seasonings.

Step 10

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and roast for 30-35 minutes, or until the tomatoes are soft, starting to blister, and the liquid has slightly reduced into a glossy sauce.
