Pass the puree through a fine-mesh strainer into a medium bowl, and set aside. Discard the pulp in the strainer.

Rest the spoon across the top of a stockpot or deep jar, letting the juices drip into the pot for about 3 hours. Pour the tomato water through a fine chinois or sieve into a bowl. Add salt; stir to combine.

Stir in some of the tomato water to reduce the temperature, then stir all of the gelatin mixture into the remaining tomato water.
• Combine the olive oil and butter in a small saucepan; heat over medium heat until the butter is melted. Stir in the parsley. Spread over the bread; grill until crisp, 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Alternatively, toast the croutons in a 350°F oven until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
