Roasted Cherry Tomatoes

Dressed with a tasty fresh basil sauce.
These are great when you have fresh
garden ripened cherry tomatoes but
even the store bought ones are good.

Ingredients:
Sweet cherry tomatoes (can use a mixture of colors)
Salt to taste
A couple of pinches of sugar
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup olive oil
2 cups fresh basil

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
Place in a food processor and blend the
fresh basil and extra virgin olive oil, set aside.
Place the fresh ripe tomatoes in a baking dish large enough
to fit them in a single layer.Add salt, sugar, and toss together.
Add the regular olive oil, and toss again.
Place in the oven for 45 minutes until the tomato skins
have shriveled and just split; the tomatoes will be still intact.
Remove tomatoes from the heat, and allow to cool.
Arrange the tomatoes on a platter.
Drizzle the bright green basil oil from the food processor decoratively
around and over the tomatoes, and pour on any juices from the pan.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
