INGREDIENTS

olive oil
1 lb. Santorini tomatoes (or very good quality cherry tomatoes), sliced in half
1 T salt
1 t sugar
1 t pepper
1 t chopped fresh thyme
1 t chopped fresh oregano

PREPARATION

Preheat  the oven to 170° F. On a greased baking sheet place the cherry tomatoes flesh side up very close to each other. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and fresh herbs. Drizzle with olive oil and place in oven for about 8 hours. Overnight works well. Make sure that the tomatoes do not dry completely but are able to stay moist and have plenty of oil. After cooling, the tomatoes can be placed in a jar with more olive oil and will keep for a few weeks.
