I have not grown Gardener’s Delight, but here is a description from Tomato Growers Supply Company’s ‘09 catalog:
This small fruited variety, also known as Sugar Lump,
rates high with gardeners for its big yields of
sugar sweet tomatoes. Crack resistant fruit is 3/4
to 1 1/2 inches across and arranged in clusters of 6
to 12. Indeterminate. 65 days.
I was thinking, unless you really love the taste of very sweet tomatoes, you may wish to blend some other tarter type variety(s) in with what ever sauce or salsa you may make.
This would give the sauce a fuller, richer Tom flavor, instead of a CANDY-LIKE paste that might result from all those very sweet cherries.
Just a thought.

Can I chime in here?
I've grown lots of tomatoes, and you have just mentioned one of my favorites. It is sweet, yes, but has a full-bodied "old fashioned" tomato flavor.
I once brought some to a "tomato tasting" picnic. One older lady there was accompanied by her husband. He went from table to table, looking for that "old fashioned" tomato flavor, and when he tried Sugar Lump, he smiled and said "Yes, that's it."
That is exactly what I was thinking of doing just mixing them all together.tomatoes. I like to make and can stewed tomatoes so adding in onion, garlic, green peppers along with a little salt and maybe some basil will take some of the sweet away? With their size they should dehydrate fast too.
