Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Cook Time: 2 Hours
Total Time: 2 Hours 10 Minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs (3 pints) cherry tomatoes
  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1½ tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 275°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Line a baking sheet with wide heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  2. Directly on the lined baking sheet, using a rubber spatula, toss the tomatoes with the olive oil, vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper, and garlic. Roast for 2 hours, until the tomatoes are soft and beginning to burst. Serve hot or at room temperature.
  3. Make-Ahead/Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The tomatoes will keep in a covered container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months. If freezing them, it's a good idea to divide them into individual portions to thaw as needed.
