Food stylist Teresa Blackburn is a genius at preserving foods, particularly tomatoes.

Ingredients
  • 16  medium to large ripe, but firm, heirloom tomatoes

  • 1/2  cup torn fresh basil leaves

  • 6 to 8  garlic cloves, thickly sliced

  • tablespoons white balsamic or red wine vinegar

  • teaspoon sea salt

  •   Freshly ground black pepper

  • Prep Time - 40
  • Cook Time - 20
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375F. Cover baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cut an X in the bottom of each tomato and place on parchment with X side up.
  3. Roast tomatoes 20 to 30 minutes, until skin begins to pull away at the X. Remove pan from oven and let tomatoes cool.
  4. When cool enough to handle, core each tomato and peel skin away from meat of tomato using a sharp knife. Work over a large nonreactive bowl to catch juices.
  5. Coarsely chop tomatoes in bowl using knife or scissors, or squish with your hands. Add basil, garlic, vinegar, salt and pepper. Mix well.
  6. Label clean glass jars, freezer boxes or bags. Fill containers two-thirds full with sauce; seal or close and place in freezer up to 6 months. Makes about 12 cups, depending on size of tomatoes.
