Process

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Preheat the oven to 300u2109. Heat a pot of boiling water over high heat. Fill a large bowl with ice cubes and water.
Score an X into the bottom of each cherry tomato.
Plunge the tomatoes into the boiling water for 30 seconds. Immediately drain the tomatoes and plunge them into the ice water to stop cooking.
Once the tomatoes are cool, use your fingers to take off the skin. Discard the skin and place the tomatoes into a casserole dish in a single layer.
Pour olive oil over the tomatoes until they are mostly submerged. Add the garlic, basil, thyme, and salt.
Cover with foil.
Bake for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.

Notes

These tomatoes can be kept in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Cool before storing in the jar. Be sure to keep the tomatoes completely submerged in oil while you are storing them. If you need to add more oil to your container, it is fine. Serve this as an appetizer with crackers or toast, mix it into pasta, or eat it straight from the jar. You do not have to boil and peel the tomatoes if you wish. The consistency will be slightly different but it will still be delicious.
