Yield Makes 1 pint jar

Number Of Ingredients 5

10 plum tomatoes, halved
Sea salt
Dried thyme, oregano, or marjoram
Garlic cloves, optional
Approximately 2 cups olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to the lowest heat setting (150-200°F). The goal here is to dry the tomatoes slowly but surely.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the tomatoes on top, cut side up. Sprinkle lightly with salt.
  • Bake the tomatoes until the edges have shriveled and the insides are still slightly moist but not juicy. Timing depends on the type and size of tomato; the drying will take anywhere between 2 and 8 hours.
  • Set the pan aside until completely cool and then transfer the tomatoes to a clean and sterilized jar. Add a few sprigs of dry herbs and a clove of garlic, if using, to the jar. Pour in olive oil, thoroughly covering the tomatoes to preserve them.
  • Store in the fridge for 4-6 weeks. Use up the remaining olive oil in dishes that can benefit from the savory tomato flavor.
