How To Make tomatoes sweet-salty and spicy

  • 1
    Cut off the stem end of the tomatoes and then slice them into 1/2 inch slices. When all the tomatoes are sliced, place them on a rimmed sheet pan.
  • 2
    Brush or drizzle olive oil over each tomato slice. Mix the sugar and the salt together. Sprinkle some of the sugar/salt mixture on each tomato.
  • 3
    Using a mortar and pestle grind the peppercorn until crushed but not pulverized. Sprinkle some green crushed peppercorns on each tomato slice.
  • 4
    Put the pan of tomatoes into a 175^ oven for about 3 hours. The tomatoes will still be juicy and they will be caramelized. They are great hot or cold. (some ovens caramelize better at 225^-mine worked at 175^) --- Note: This recipe does not dry out the tomatoes.. it simply concentrates the juice and the flavors for use as a condiment on sandwiches, crostini, or as a garnish or by themselves.
