Ultra-Easy Confit Tomatoes

Super delicious confit tomatoes with juicy flesh that bursts in your mouth. Some of the tomato’s water is evaporated, making the flavor more intense. This ultra-easy confit tomato recipe is something I just learned from a restaurant chef and I’m sharing it with you.

Cooking Tips

Always use clean utensils when taking tomatoes out of the jar. Stored in the fridge, they keep for about two weeks. I haven’t tried keeping them longer since they’re usually gone within a week, so I recommend making a small batch and finishing it within a week.
