Steps to make Slow Roasted Cherry Tomatoes

1	Preheat oven
Preheat the oven to 225 °F.
2	Prepare tomatoes	1
Spread 2 pints cherry tomatoes onto a large baking sheet and add 3 sprigs of thyme, 8 torn basil leaves, and 3 crushed garlic cloves. Drizzle with three tablespoons of olive oil and toss, making sure the garlic and herbs are well coated with oil to keep them from burning.
3	Add salt and black pepper	1
Sprinkle ½ teaspoon salt and a few cracks of black pepper on top, then give a good stir to coat.
4	Roast tomatoes	2h 30m
Roast the tomatoes for 2 ½ hours, stirring at least once or twice during roasting, until the tomatoes are blistered and shrunken.
5	Transfer to sterilized jar	3
Remove the garlic and herbs and add the tomatoes to a sterilized jar. Cover the tomatoes completely with olive oil. Make sure the tomatoes are completely submerged in the oil. The olive oil will get solid in the refrigerator. When ready to eat or serve, remove the desired amount from the jar and let sit at room temperature to turn to liquid again.
6	Serve
Serve as desired. The preserved tomatoes will keep refrigerated for at least 6 weeks.
