Shanna's Oven Cured Tomatoes

 
Ingredients 
6 medium California tomatoes (about 3 lbs.)
1 Tbsp. minced garlic
1 Tbsp. chopped fresh thyme
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
 
Directions
Core and stem end of the  tomatoes and cut an X in the bottom. Dip in boiling water for 8 to 10 seconds, then immediately into ice water. Slip the skins off and cut each tomato in half crosswise. Line a sheet pan with foil and lightly oil it. Place the California tomatoes on the foil, cut side down. Combine the remaining ingredients and rub each tomato half with the mixture. Place in the oven and turn it to 225ºF. Bake for 5 hours, until the tomatoes are soft but retain their shape. To store, cover with olive oil and refrigerate.
