Yield Makes about 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 4

6 plum tomatoes
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Pinch of sugar

Steps:

  • Boil a small pot of water. On bottom of each tomato, make small X with a knife. Blanch tomatoes for about 20 seconds just until the skin starts to tear. Remove; plunge into an ice bath. When cool, remove from water. Skin will peel right off. Cut lengthwise into quarters. Remove seeds and center pith. Cut each quarter into thirds lengthwise.
  • Heat oven to 200 degrees. Gently toss the tomatoes with oil in a small bowl, and season with salt, pepper, and sugar. Place the tomato mixture in a 9-by-13-inch Pyrex baking dish. Cook for 2 1/2 hours, gently stirring the tomatoes occasionally. If the oil begins to bubble, reduce the heat. Turn the oven off, and leave the tomatoes in the oven until cool, 4 to 6 hours. Can be stored in refrigerator in the oil several days.
