Heat the oven to 250 F. Core the tomatoes, score the bottoms, and blanch briefly so the skins slip off.
Halve the tomatoes lengthwise and arrange cut side up on a sheet pan.
Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and thyme.
Bake until concentrated and about halfway dried, 4 to 5 hours.
Cool and store in their oil.
Jason's Notes
Slow-cooked tomatoes solve a lot of problems. They bring sweetness, acid, and concentration to anything that needs a little more depth.
