Cherry Tomato Confit
From Tom's Big Dinners and more specifically a meal that he made and enjoyed with Dale Chihuly. This recipe requires using the oven at a low heat and roasting the tomatoes for 3 hours (included in cook time) and for best flavor should be refrigerated overnight (not included in cook time).

- Roast uncovered until the tomatoes are swollenand the skins wrinkled, about three hours.
- Remove the tomatoes from oven and allow to cool, then pour into a small bowl. For best flavor cover and refrigerate overnight, bringing the confit back to room temperature.
- When you are ready to serve, pour the tomatoes into a strainer set over a bow, reserving both the tomatoes and the oil. Place the drained tomatoes in a small bowl, discarding the herb sprigs and garlic cloves. Add the vinegar, chopped time, and 1 tablespoon of the reserved oil. Mix gently being careful not to break the tomatoes. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper.
