Cherry tomatoes are often sold by the pint, so you can just pick up two containers. Or simply measure out 4 cups, as Susan W suggested.
While this is the correct way to purchase cherry tomatoes, it is not the correct way to measure them. Cherry tomatoes are, indeed, sold in a pint. This pint, though, is a "dry" pint and will not measure 2 cups of tomatoes.
Selling cherry tomatoes in pints must be an American thing. In most- if not all- European countries- only liquids are measured in pints. All types of tomatoes are sold by solid weight
Since pints are volume and not weight measurements, just measure out two cups per pint. Cherry tomatoes differ in weight, so using a measuring cup is the way to go. I was puzzled by the same thing myself, but weighing each package in the store was inconclusive. My grocery store is usually helpful in the extreme; in this case I went on line and was told the cherry tomatoes in my pint, were 5.40" in Height, 4.55" in Width and 2.30"Deep. 🙄I didn't measure them myself. Over the course of several recipes and about a year. I weighed pints myself and found that a pint of cherry tomatoes was never less than 10 ounces nor more than 12 ounces. The average weight was 11.52 ounces over 12 pints. So four pints would be about 40 to 44 ounces. 🤔 If you are happy with the way the recipe comes out, I think you just keep doin' what you are doin'. If you use 32 ounces instead of 44 I doubt anyone will notice. 😊
