Dried cherry tomatoes
- 1,5 kg (3 lb) of cherry tomatoes

Wash, dry and cut the cherry tomatoes in half. Spread on a baking paper on the baking sheet.
Add a few garlic cloves, sprinkle with thyme, rosemary, Fleur de sel and a little bit of raw sugar. Drizzle with olive oil, mix gently.
Spread again and bake in oven 5h at 80°C (180°F). Poor the tomatoes (which stay a little bit soft) in jars, cover with olive oil and close. Conservation is about 4 months. For a longer conservation, boil the jars in water for 1h30, then let cool down in water.
