THE EASIEST WAY TO PRESERVE CHERRY TOMATOES | SIMPLE ITALIAN METHOD
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- Preserving your bounty of cherry tomatoes has never been easier with this authentic Italian method from the Southern region of Calabria where my family is from. A few minutes of prep time will give you delicious, savory, tomato preserves ready to enjoy on bruschetta, crostini, or added to soups and pasta.
6 cups cherry tomatoes sliced in half
1 tsp salt
pepper to taste
thyme or rosemary
Lay the cherry tomatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and thyme.
Bake at 250 degrees for about three hours checking to make sure they are not getting charred, just nicely browned and roasted
Remove from heat and and cool
When cool, spoon into a clean mason jar and cover with olive oil until tomatoes are submerged.
Will keep in the refrigerator for 3-4 months. Cover the remaining tomatoes with more oil as you use them so they are always submerged

I just made a jar of these and I can tell you they definitely will not last 3-4 months. It will be a miracle if they last the night. 😅 I have a baguette in the oven and I'm having a midnight feast. Sooooo delicious! Thank you.
Sounds like a wonderful midnight feast lol! I'm so glad you are enjoying them, Aileen :)
I had 4 basketful of cherry tomatoes this year even without any time to care for it as my dear mum passed away. Did not know what to do, but this is great for the Canadian winter. Going to preserve them to enjoy later. Thanks for sharing.❤
The tomatoes , the way you made them, wouldn't last 2 days in my house lol I'd be eating them right out of the jar ! Yummmmm 🥰🪷🌺🌸🌼💗✝💖🇺🇲
We go through them pretty quick around here lol! They get put into everything just about :)
What a great way to use up cherry tomatoes!! My husband read that orange cherry tomatoes had a sweet, lovely flavor.... so that is what he mostly planted this year. I know he would love this recipe!! Thanks for sharing it!
The orange ones are lovely...we've never planted them but sounds like something to try next season :)
Thanks so much for the inspiration; our cherry tomatoes are really producing this year and your recipe came at the perfect time! Many thanks for your videos, I enjoy them so much!
Wonderful, Tess...so happy the timing is good, and thanks so very much for spending a few minutes with me :)
Oh, wouldn't they also be wonderful tossed with some pasta?!?
So many ideas, omgosh.
Thank you for this recipe, Lisa!
Yes, Rosie, amazing with pasta!
I've never heard of this! I have tried to can roasted tomatoes and they came out ok, but this sounds really delicious. Thanks for this and your gorgeous smile!
You are so welcome :)
This looks so incredibly delicious. Thank you for posting!
My pleasure, Elizabeth and it really is amazingly good 😊
Made sun dried tomatoes with my cherry tomatoes. Souch cheaper than the store bought.
Nice! Love sundried tomatoes :)
Great idea!Question: can the oil be reused once the tomatoes are gone? It may be a silly question, I just wondered if the citric acid in the tomatoes somehow degrades the oil. Thanks in advance! love the cooking ideas.
I have re-used the oil to make dressings since it has a lovely flavor being infused with the tomatoes...just use it within a reasonable amount of time (within a couple of months) and keep it in the fridge....hope that helps :)
@@asimpleseason2616 Yes! Thank you so much. 🙏
@@mariahsmom9457I would have never thought of this! Thank you for thinking of even asking about this. I'll definitely be re-using mine. Good Olive Oil is expensive!!❤😀🍅
@@twatquat3322 yes it is! ❤💰💰i bet it makes a lovely dipping oil for bread too.
@@mariahsmom9457 👍
Lisa, my family is also from Calabria region. Thank you for this video, I have a ton of cherry tomatoes as well. I look so forward to your videos. Many blessings to you and yours.
I have a lot of cherry tomatoes too lol! Thanks for visiting with me... greetings my fellow Calabrian :)
Thank you for such an easy way to make use of those delicious tomatoes.
My pleasure, Kathy! 😊
Looks so good. I love garden tomatoes. I never buy them in winter from grocery store.
Lisa you have an American accent, but to may as well have Italia stamped on your forehead. Thank you for your blog. I will use mine in pasta dishes and Rogan Josh.
This is lovely, I would probably use basil or oregano or maybe both as those herbs i like. Thanks for sharing Lisa❣️
Sounds great! Have a wonderful evening :)
You too!! 😁
Looks amazing! I did sun dried in the oil, but i'm trying this tomorrow. Thank you, Lisa
Wonderful, Jodi... I'll be doing another batch or two myself lol!
This looks amazing Lisa! Thanks for sharing and hope you’re doing well❤
Hi Amy!! How lovely to see you here...hope you are having a great summer :)
This is exactly what I needed - thank you! One question - does the olive oil solidify? My experience with olive oil in the fridge is that it hardens when cold. Thanks!
Yes it can, but you just scoop out what you need and it'll come to room temperature in a few minutes and liquify... hope that helps :)
This looks so good! I need to watch the farmer's market for cherry tomatoes now!
Looks good
You have taught us how to stock a pantry. Thank you for that. I wish you would write a cookbook teaching us how to use the ingredients in our pantry. Love your channel
A cookbook is a great idea...I will work on this and thank you so very much :)
This video could not have come at a better time! Thanks for another great video
Glad to hear it, Amy and thank you so very much for the visit...hope you have a lovely evening :)
Just added this to my To Do List!
Thanks
Thanks, Lisa
They look delish😊
I saw this video, yesterday. Just put the tomatoes in the oven. So excited to try these. Thank you for sharing!
Hope you enjoy, Mary! Have a great Monday :)
I always look forward to your videos. My tomatoes are coming in too. I think I will be trying this.
Wonderful, Rebecca! I am having some right now with ricotta cheese lol!
My mum said , Nonna back home in Sicily, preserved whole tomatoes. But she couldn’t remember how. Thank you for video. My Zia has shown me how to make cheese and ricotta, like they did when living in Sicily. No preservatives, all natural ingredients. I make it all the time now. My Zia did discuss how they made rennet back then. Yes not for the faint hearted.
So great to have those family stories, Carol :)
Made it this morning. Absolutely delicious!! Thanks so much for this recipe!!
My pleasure, Kathy...so happy you like it! 😊
I made this immediately after watching and it's delicious!
Yay! I'm so happy you enjoyed it, Debbie :)
You have shown me so much in 2 short videos thank you so much 🥰
I'm so glad!
Yum! I have so many I don’t know what to do with them! This is great! Thank you.
A wonderful problem to have, Terri lol! Hope you are having a great day :)
That looks incredible; I'm definitely going to preserve some tomatoes like this. Thank you!
Hope you enjoy, Laura :)
@@asimpleseason2616 Thank you 🙂
I’m going to try it 😊
Yay! I think you'll love these, Karen :)
This looks more efficient than the Tomato Confit I made yesterday with what looks like very similar results. Will try that next time.
I bet the confit is lovely as well :)
@@asimpleseason2616 I'm really happy to hear how long it will last in the fridge. Thanks - you're a wealth of information!
I bought some chili colorado sauce on sale and I have london broil in the freezer. I think I'll make a roast with the sauce and make burritos 🌯.
Oh wow...sounds delicious! :)
I would add chopped garlic and basil. That would be awesome as well
Great idea!
God’s little kisses, one of my favorite foods! 🍅❤
Yes, indeed...can't wait to get them planted this year :)
Thank you so much for this video! My Tomatoes, cherry and regular, are producing like crazy. Do the jars have to be stored in the fridge? Not shelf stable. Thanx again!❤
Thanks, Teresa, yes, they need to be stored in the fridge and will last 3-4 months :)
@asimpleseason2616 Thank You Lisa.🙂❤️
I made these on the weekend and they are amazing. However I just noticed that the oil has solidified completely. How do I keep it good to eat like day one?
Yes, the oil will solidify in the fridge so just take out what you need and let it come to room temperature or heat it slightly.....then cover any exposed tomatoes in the jar with more oil before putting it back in the fridge so the air doesn't get to them :)
Thanks
Welcome :)
@asimpleseason How would you do this with whole frozen cherry tomatoes? And could you use grapeseed oil?
I've never used frozen or grapeseed oil for this particular recipe but I can't see why not :)
I’d add basil instead of thyme
Wonderful!
I have so many right now but I have NO parchment paper, is that absolutely necessary to use the paper?
Non stick tin foil will work too 😊
Little question, can this recipe be frozen? Thank you!
Yes you can, the texture will change after freezing but very good to use for adding to soups, stews and pasta sauce :)
Super, thank you! Will be making some. Have a great evening!!@@asimpleseason2616
250 degrees celsius?
250 Fahrenheit ...low and slow :)
Can you add garlic to this?
Sounds lovely and I can't see why not if it's sliced very thinly...everything just has to be submerged under the oil...hope that helps :)
@@asimpleseason2616 Thank you!
boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Can I make them on a cookie sheet without the parchment paper?
You sure can ... afterward your cookie sheet will just need some elbow grease to clean it though 😊
@@asimpleseason2616 Thanks! Love your channel! Your pantry is amazing! PS… I did run out this morning and get some parchment paper 😎
