Tomato Dessert (Dulce de Tomate)


My husband prepared this dessert for me when we were newlyweds.  I was surprised when I heard him say dulce de tomate... because I had never heard of tomato dessert before. When I tasted it, I was immediately amazed on how great it tasted. My dear husband firmly believes that after one tastes this dulce (dessert), it will become a favorite!

This is one of many traditional fruit desserts in Dominican Republic, but it is not commonly found in stores. I have already shared this recipe in Spanish when my blog was only a few months old. I've always wanted to translate it, but never found the time until now that I am organizing my recipes to add the ZipList save recipe button and for the new recipe index I have under construction. Below you'll find the translated recipe for this delicious dessert. The sweet syrup is a base recipe to prepare many Dominican fruits desserts; you just need to replace the tomatoes with other fruits.
