Something different for your tomatoes

Last year I did a LOT of canning. When I was sick of canning and still had roma tomatoes ripening, I tried something a little different. I made slow roasted tomatoes. They turn out to have a flavor like sun dried tomatoes. They are wonderful in pasta dishes and salads. They're even good to eat all by themselves. Like tomato candy!
Give them a try and tell me what you think.

Cut in half and place skin side down on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Drizzle with a little olive oil. Sprinkle with a little salt.
Roast them for about 12 hours at 200 degrees. Check on them in the last hour or so. You don’t want them to be crispy at all. Still pliable, but not juicy either.
Romas have less water, so other varieties might take longer to roast.
Place the whole cookie sheet into the freezer. When they are frozen, place the tomatoes in a freezer bag. Store them in the freezer to enjoy all winter. Easy Peasy!

Cheryl took it a step farther last year and roasted green tomatoes. Also very delicious!
