Cooking Instructions
1.
Preheat oven to 260 degrees F (125 degrees C).
2.
Bring a large pot of water to a simmer. Cut a small X through the skin on the bottom of each Tomatoes (5 1/2 cups). Plunge tomatoes into simmering water and allow to sit for 40-60 seconds. You will start to see the skins slough off.
3.
Remove tomatoes to a cold water bath to stop the cooking. Repeat with remaining tomatoes. Peel skins off tomatoes by grabbing the flaps of the cut X.
4.
Cut large tomatoes in half horizontally and scoop out seeds. Place tomato halves cut side up in a roasting pan.
5.
Wash Cherry Tomatoes (6 2/3 cups) and cut in half. Squeeze or scoop out seeds.
6.
Scatter with larger tomatoes, tucking some in alongside the larger ones. Tomatoes should be tightly packed.
7.
Scatter Fresh Rosemary (6 sprigs), Fresh Thyme (8 sprigs), and Garlic (8 cloves) over tomatoes, pressing them down among the tomatoes.
8.
Lightly crush Black Peppercorns (12), Granulated Sugar (3 Tbsp), and Sea Salt (2 tsp).
9.
Sprinkle the mix over tomatoes and herbs. Drizzle Olive Oil (2 cups) evenly over tomatoes.
10.
Roast for 3 hours.
11.
Pour boiling water into your sealable jars to help sterilize and warm them, then drain. Scoop hot tomatoes, along with herbs and garlic into jars. Top with remaining juice.
12.
Screw on lids and allow to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate. If eating cold, allow to come to room temperature first, to allow olive oil to return to its original state. Enjoy!
Author's Notes
Seeding the cherry tomatoes is tedious, but only takes 10-12 minutes once you get going.
Will keep for a solid week in the refrigerator.
Makes approximately 3 cups.
