Oven Slow Roasted Tomatoes

Ingredients:
2 lbs Roma tomatoes halved lengthwise
6-8 minced fresh garlic cloves
5 tablespoons olive oil
salt
black pepper (optional)

Set oven to 200 degrees.
Place the tomatoes cut-side up in a shallow roasting pan.
In a small bowl combine the minced garlic and oil; spoon over the top of the tomatoes.
Sprinkle with salt (and black pepper if desired).
Roast for 6-8 hours (roast 8 hours for a more intense flavor).
Cool to room temperature and serve, or store in a glass jar with a tight fitting lid refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.

NOTE** if you are serving the chilled tomatoes as a side dish, bring to almost room temperature before serving.
