Ingredients
  

  • 3 Tomatoes chopped
  • 2 TBS Water
  • 2 TBS Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Fresh Black Pepper

Method
 

  1. Chop up the tomatoes and push off your cutting board into a saute pan (I say push off the cutting board because you want the inside juices and seeds).
  2. Add all other ingredients and turn heat to medium low.
  3. Simmer for 10 - 15 minutes, until thick. Use either warm or cold.

Notes

Tomato Confit is great on paninis, sandwiches and especially bruschetta. The sugar brings out the sweetness in the tomatoes which I normally don't get to taste when I eat them raw. This was enough for 6 paninis, so technically everyone only got a teaspoon of sugar. Not bad!
