Ingredients
  

  • Tomatoes (best to use Roma-type or smaller varieties like Cherry Tomatoes - anything up to ping pong ball size. Note: you will need 1 cup of roasted tomatoes for this recipe.
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 1 cup room temperature Salted Butter

Instructions
 

  • To roast tomatoes: Rinse, remove the stems, and slice in half. Lay face up on a greased baking sheet that has been lined with aluminum foil. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt & pepper.
  • Roast tomatoes at 350 degrees for about one hour. Turn off the heat, and allow to remain in the oven for another half hour or so if you wish - not mandatory. Cool to room temperature.
  • To a food processor: add 1/2 cup roasted tomatoes and 1 cup salted butter. Process until thoroughly blended.
  • Add remaining 1/2 cup of roasted tomatoes. Pulse until incorporated while still allowing small chunks of tomato to remain.
  • Serve immediately or freeze.
