Cut them in half, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and leave them at room temp to give up their juice for an hour or so. Add a clove of garlic, pressed, and some chopped basil. A perfect no cook tomato sauce for pasta (or just eat it all up with a spoon.)

Roast them! I wrote about this recently. Just toss them with some chopped garlic or shallot, salt & pepper, herbs (like basil), and olive oil. Roast at high heat for 20-40 minutes, shaking frequently. The higher the heat, the shorter the time (and IMHO, the better the taste).

ooh, i would love to roast them, but the oven's not getting turned on for a few more weeks. no air conditioning.
