2 x 385ml glass jars with tight fitting lids, sterilised
large baking sheet
baking parchment or silicone mat
Ingredients
700gbaby plum or cherry tomatoes(cut in half)
2tspdried oregano
4cloves garlic
salt & pepper
400mlneutral or light olive oil
thyme(optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 100 C Fan. Line a baking tray with some parchment paper or silicone mat.
Slice the tomatoes in half and place on the paper, skin side down. Scatter over the garlic cloves and dried oregano. Season with salt and ground black pepper.
Place in an oven and cook for 3-4 hours. Open the oven door each hour to check and release humidity and steam. The tomatoes will dry up but should still be a little soft to the touch.
Pop the garlic out of its skin and place in the sterilised jars along with the tomatoes. Completely cover the tomatoes with oil and seal the jars. Add the springs of fresh thyme if using.
Keep for 2 weeks topping up the oil to ensure the tomatoes completely covered at all times in oil.
