Dry Set Tomatoes

dry set tomato trussNot having much luck with the tomatoes. These young fruits have been like this for about a month now, set without further growth. This is a condition called 'Dry Set', caused by too little humidity and too high temperatures at pollination (recent hot, dry weather).

It looked like a good first truss, too. Cut them off to divert energy to rest of plant. What next?
