Eating cinnamon spiked tomatoes on a hot summer day is one of my favorite memories from childhood.
My mom and dad turned our backyard into an organic garden. She and my father spent many a day and night canning the bounty of fruit and vegetables harvested from it.
My most memorable and favorite things that came out of that garden was my mom’s cinnamon spiked tomatoes, her peach syrup and apple cobbler. Oh, and how could I forget, the strawberries. Tons and tons of fresh red, ripe, juicy strawberries. Those were the days!
Her cinnamon spiked tomatoes were incredibly tasty and so refreshing, especially on hot summer days. And best of all, they’re super easy to make! She said her mother used to make them and she carried on the tradition. They were definitely a family favorite and didn’t last long.
While she didn’t have access to our Cinnamon Bark essential oil we do, and adding a couple drops to this dish infuses it with all the goodness and benefits that this powerful essential oil contains.*
CINNAMON SPIKED TOMATOES
Ingredients
3-4 large, fresh, home grown tomatoes (cut into bite sized pieces)
1 tsp ground cinnamon (or more, to taste)
2 drops Cinnamon Bark Vitality essential oil
Sugar and salt (to taste)
Place ingredients in glass bowl and mix well. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours or more.
Best when served ice cold!
NOTE: I recommend making this with home-grown tomatoes, not store-bought. Home grown tomatoes are much tastier and JUICY, unlike MOST store-bought tomatoes.

CAUTION
References to the use of essential oils refers SOLELY to Young Living Essential Oils.
Before taking oils internally always verify if it’s safe for internal use.
Never attempt to use other oils in the same way as it may be dangerous or toxic!
Because of Young Living’s entire SEED-to-SEAL process they are the ONLY ones that I would ever consider ingesting!
If you think the oils you are using are pure, because you see the words “100% PURE” or “therapeutic-grade” on the label, you are VERY mistaken. There are no set standards or regulations therefore companies can put whatever they want on the label. Buying oils in a health food store does NOT mean the oils are safe for internal consumption.
Don’t believe me? Go grab that bottle from another company and look at the label. Does it say something like DO NOT INGEST or perhaps, NOT SAFE FOR INTERNAL USE? Consider yourself warned!
