TOMATO CONSERVE
This recipe was presented at the 7th Annual Kohler Food & Wine Experience in Kohler, Wisconsin by Chef Ryan Anderson. Chef Anderson served this conserve with his Wisconsin Raclette Cheese Honey Truffle Pasty (I've posted my variation here at Recipezaar under Raclette, Honey, and Mushroom Pastries recipe #263143). This was a wonderful holiday appetizer with the flavors of Christmas spices!

TOMATO-AND-HERB CONSERVE
Extend the summer by making these oven-dried tomatoes, packed in oil with herbs, to enjoy when the warm weather is gone. They're juicier and more versatile than their sun-dried cousins; serve them on pasta or crostini with goat cheese.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Arrange tomatoes, cut-sides up, on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet; season with salt. Roast until tomatoes shrink and collapse slightly, about 1 hour. Let cool completely, then pack into a 2-cup-capacity jar.
- In a small saucepan, combine oil, herbs, and garlic. Bring to a bare simmer over medium heat. Carefully pour mixture into jar, topping with more oil if necessary. (Oil should fully submerge tomatoes and herbs and reach about 1/2 inch from top.) Let cool completely, then cover and refrigerate until ready to use, up to 1 month.

- Use a variety of tomatoes: Using a mix of different types of tomatoes, such as Roma, beefsteak, and cherry tomatoes, will give your conserve a more complex flavor.
- Don't overcook the tomatoes: Overcooking the tomatoes will make them mushy and bland. Cook them just until they are softened and have released their juices.
- Add a variety of spices and herbs: Spices and herbs will add depth and flavor to your conserve. Some good options include basil, oregano, thyme, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil will add a rich, fruity flavor to your conserve. Choose an extra virgin olive oil for the best results.
- Let the conserve cool completely before storing: This will help the flavors to meld and develop.
- Store the conserve in a cool, dark place: This will help it to keep for up to a year.
Conclusion:
Tomato conserve is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is a great way to use up fresh tomatoes, and it can be made ahead of time and stored for later use. With its sweet, tangy flavor, tomato conserve is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
