Bloody Mary on a Stick

Bloody Mary on a Stick

2 cups firm, ripe cherry tomatoes
Vodka
Kosher salt

Pour boiling water over tomatoes. Let stand no more than 20 seconds. Drain and cover with ice water. Remove skins and stick a toothpick into the stem-end scar. Place in a shallow bowl, about 1 inch deep, in a single layer. Chill thoroughly. Have a bottle of vodka stored in the freezer until very cold. Don't worry, it won't freeze (It's anti-freeze! LOL). When ready to serve, pour over tomatoes just until they are covered. Place bowls of Kosher salt for dipping the tomatoes. To keep the tomato/vodka mixture cold, you may place the serving dip on a bed of ice.
