If your tomatoes are not the plum type, it will still work OK.
I`ve never tested the theory of them lasting 6 months, I always eat mine!

Olive Oil
Salt & Sugar to taste

1. Heat oven to 150C / 300F/ Gas Mark 2.
2. Grease a baking sheet wiith olive oil.
3. Cut tomatoes in half lengthways.
4. Remove pulp and pips with a spoon.
5. Place tomatoes cut side up on baking sheet.
6. Drizzle oil over & sprinkle with salt and sugar.
7. Cook for about 50 mins.
8. Cool tomatoes and pack into jars.
9. Cover with more oil.

Simpler Method

Heat the oven to the lowest setting and halve the tomatoes.

Arrange them, cut-side up, on a lightly oiled roasting tray and scatter over some chopped garlic, shallots and thyme leaves.

Drizzle generously with olive oil and a sprinkling of sea salt and freshly ground pepper.

Gently roast for an hour until tender.
