After that, take them out and place them in ice-cold water. Take them out, peel them and cut them.

Blend the tomatoes together with the bell pepper, salt, 1/4 cup olive oil, garlic, onion, and bread. Stop blending when you get a smooth mixture.

Next, include 1/4 cup oilve oil, cherries, and vinegar. You can add more water if you need, to reach the consistency of thin soup.

Let it cool down for at least 1 hour then serve it with halved cherries, cheese, and basil leaves.
