CHERRY TOMATO CONFIT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275°F. Spread tomatoes onto a large rimmed baking sheet. Add oil, salt, pepper, and garlic; toss gently to coat. Tuck thyme sprigs into mixture. Bake at 275°F until tomatoes are wilted but not all have burst, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• Cool tomato mixture to room temperature; discard thyme. Store tomatoes with oil and accumulated pan juices in an airtight container in refrigerator up to 2 weeks, or freeze up to 2 months.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 225°F. Arrange the tomatoes in one layer in sheet pans. Scatter the garlic cloves among them. Drizzle the olive oil over everything and sprinkle everything with salt. Set in the oven for between 2 and 5 hours.
• When the tomatoes have collapsed and have simmered for at least 1 hour, sprinkle the herbs over everything. Turn off the heat and leave the pans in the oven. Once everything has returned to room temperature, pack into containers. This will keep several weeks in the fridge.

CONFIT CHERRY TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°F. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Using a paring knife, mark a shallow X on the bottom of each tomato. Add to the boiling water for 3 to 4 seconds. Immediately transfer to an ice bath and, once cool, remove the skins with a paring knife, being careful not to cut into the flesh. Toss the peeled tomatoes in the olive oil, salt, and sugar. Place on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 1 1/2 hours, until the tomatoes are slightly shriveled and about one-quarter of their original size. Cool to room temperature and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

CHERRY TOMATO CONFIT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 225 degrees. Place the tomatoes in a baking dish large enough to hold them in a single layer. Pour the oil over the tomatoes, and add the herb sprigs and garlic cloves. Season generously with salt and pepper. Bake, uncovered, until the tomatoes are swollen and the skins are wrinkled, about 3 hours.
• Remove the tomatoes from the oven, and allow to cool. Transfer to a small bowl. For the best flavor, cover, and refrigerate overnight. Bring to room temperature before you are ready to serve.
• Before serving, pour the tomatoes into a sieve set over a bowl, reserving both the tomatoes and the oil. Place the drained tomatoes in a small bowl, discarding the herb sprigs and garlic cloves. Add the vinegar, chopped thyme, and 1 tablespoon of the reserved oil. Stir gently, being careful not to break up the tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
