Ingredients

• 2 pounds of plum tomato

• Good tasting quality olive oil

• Salt to taste

• Fresh cracked pepper to taste

Preparation

Core tomatoes and cut in half lengthwise.

Mix balance of ingredients in bowl. Toss tomatoes in mixture.

Place tomatoes in a sheet tray or cooking dish so that the round side of the tomato is facedown in the pan. (Otherwise the tomato will stick and thereby burn in the pan.)

Bake 3 hours at 350 or until tomatoes have dehydrated by at least 1/3.

Tops should be caramelized, round and tight.

Remove from pan and cool. Roughly chop. Serve as is, or as a topping for a tart.
