You know those tomatoes that you can only get in the late summer\/early fall? The ones that are sweet and taste like a summer\u2019s day? The ones that make you feel like you\u2019re actually eating sunshine? Well, it turns out that when you cook them slowly in olive oil with herbs they take on a whole new level of joy.<\/p>\n

\"Cherry\"Cherry<\/a><\/p>\n

And from the second they were in the oven; I was grinning like a fool.<\/p>\n

Seriously. I was giddy.<\/p>\n

Jedd came through the front door and asked, \u201cWhat smells so good?\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Cherry\"Cherry<\/a><\/p>\n

And I yelped, \u201cTomato confit!\u201d<\/p>\n

Once they\u2019d been in the oven for an hour and a half I gave the oil a taste. And I had Jedd try some too.<\/p>\n

\"Cherry\"Cherry<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll let him describe what they taste like.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is awesome, but, I can\u2019t really<\/em> describe it. The tomatoes are light, but have more tomato-ey flavor. They\u2019re subtle, but they\u2019re not. They\u2019re bright, and deep at the same time, you know? I love this!\u201d<\/p>\n

To celebrate, he made homemade ciabatta that we slathered with ricotta and topped with the tomatoes and their oil.<\/p>\n

We didn\u2019t even mind when the oil dripped down our wrists.<\/p>\n

Like I said, confit tomatoes are the happiest food!<\/p>\n
