These are so good! The tomatoes have such great flavor, and it was pretty easy to throw together and just pop in the oven. I used them on an antipasto platter, and later just mixed them with the leftover olives and marinated artichokes for a great pasta topper (actually, that made a great salad and late night snack too!) I added extra red pepper and omitted the sugar and they were just perfect. Now that they're gone, I miss them and must make more! They're so handy to have around to add to recipes. Looking forward to adding them to a minestrone soup maybe. Thanks EdsGirl, these are going to be made often.
