Slow Roasted Tomatoes

Slow roasting tomatoes is very simple, they just take a long time in the oven. So make these when you will be home for a few hours doing other things. These tomatoes have an amazing intense flavor. If you can stop yourself from eating them all, they freeze well for use during the winter in soups, pasta sauce and on pizza.
