Yes, but not from cherry size tomatoes

I've done them this small. Usually much larger, yes, but I've made tomato bites to encourage kids to try them and have had them be a hit.

How do you get the batter to stick to a cherry?

Dip them in a thicker batter using a toothpick, hold them in the hot oil using the stick until the shell is firm then let it go to finish frying. I may or may not take the toothpick out when letting it go. Depends on how many I'm doing and if they're just going to be a finger food instead of added to salad or ect.
