Tomato Confit has an intense concentrated flavor that is sweet like jam and smooth as velvet, it’s so tasty you want to slather it over anything and everything, trust me. On crostini, it is crunchy, creamy, sweet, and salty, need I say more.

¼ cup olive oil

3 basil leaves, chiffonade

Combine cherry tomatoes with olive oil in a medium-sized bowl and mix together to coat.  Set cherry tomatoes on a baking sheet.  Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.  Roast for 3 hours.  Remove from oven and let cool.
