Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Oven Roasted Tomatoes
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and toss in olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Roast in the oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until they start to burst.
Cranberry Fluid Gel
Heat the cranberry juice and sugar in a saucepan until the sugar dissolves.
Sprinkle in the agar-agar powder and whisk until dissolved.
Pour the mixture into a shallow pan and let it set.
Once set, blend until smooth to create the gel.
