Oven-Roasted Cherry Tomatoes

Concentrated tomato goodness, but some recipe problems.

I tried making these with 2 lbs of current tomatoes (tiny). When I saw that Heidi suggests cutting each one in half, I nearly quit. A quick google search found many similar recipes that do not require cutting in half, so I proceeded with most of the tomatoes whole.

Roasting took twice the amount of time as suggested (about 2 hrs). I think this was my fault - I used a single 9X11 inch pan, and the tine tomatoes were 2 deep. Even after 2 hours, there is a fair amount of juice, and not much of the caramelizing that Heidi mentions.

The recipe also calls for adding sugar. I don't think these tomatoes needed it - probably you should could cut back unless your tomatoes are not very sweet.

I will freeze up ziplock bags of these, and hope I can find them again in January and February.
