Roasted Plum Tomato Jam

By drinkfairy

Ingredients

• 2 pounds plum tomatoes (cut in half)
• 3 garlic cloves (sliced thinly)
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 sprig fresh thyme
• 1 sprig rosemary
• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.

In a large bowl, toss the tomato halves with all the ingredients. Put tomatoes on sheet pan, cut side up.

Roast tomatoes for 2 hours, or until they are shriveled and slightly brown.

Let cool until cool enough to handle. Remove skins.

Place tomatoes in a stainless steel, or ceramic pot, and mash. Then cook on low heat until the mixture reduces to a jam-like consistency. This step may be done up to one week ahead.
