- 520 g cherry tomatoes (approx 3 cups)

- 6-7 cloves garlic peeled and crushed
- 1 tsp. salt
- sprig fresh rosemary (or 1 tsp. dried rosemary)
- ½ tsp. dried thyme

Preheat oven to 130°C (250F). Wash and drain cherry tomatoes.
Place tomatoes in a deep baking dish. Add peeled and mashed garlic cloves, thyme, rosemary, and olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Bake for 2 to 2½ hours (depending on tomato size), or until tomatoes are wrinkly (but not completely burst).
Allow to cool at room temperature before storing tomatoes with oil, garlic, and herbs in glass jars. Refrigerate immediately if not using in an airtight glass jar for up to 2 weeks.
