VERY FANCY SLOWLY ROASTED CHERRY TOMATOES










Ingredients

2 baskets of cherry tomatoes, one yellow and the other red
Salt to taste
2 tbl turbinado sugar
3 tbl extra virgin olive oil

2 tbl dried basil

Procedure

(1) Heat the oven to 300º. (2) Place tomatoes in a baking dish large enough to contain the tomatoes in a single layer. (3) Toss a mixture of olive oil, sugar, and salt with the tomatoes. (4) Place in oven for 40 minutes until the skins have shriveled and tomatoes have split. (5) Remove from oven and sprinkle with dried basil and place in the oven for five more minutes.

They will keep overnight if refrigerated.



Almond oil in place of olive oil is pricey and extravagantly luscious.
