Instructions:

Prepare a baking tray with a layer of baking paper. Gently separate the tomatoes from the vine, ensuring the stalks remain intact. In a sturdy saucepan, combine sugar and 1/4 cup (60ml) water, stirring over low heat until the sugar completely dissolves. Increase the heat to medium and let it cook undisturbed for 6-8 minutes until the sugar transforms into a beautiful golden caramel. Take the saucepan off the heat.
Efficiently grasp a tomato by the stem and dip it precisely in the caramel, ensuring it's fully coated. Set it on the tray and allow it to harden for 2-3 minutes. Repeat for all 12 tomatoes.
Place fresh basil leaves artfully on a serving platter, then elegantly place a single candied tomato on each leaf.
