As the term confit implies, this gob of tomatoes is luxuriously rich. The key to the recipe is its simplicity (3-4 ingredients) and time to cook (1 hour) which allows the tomatoes to break down and ooze together with a generous amount of olive oil. The resulting jam is ridiculously intense, and may be divvied up in batches (and frozen) for all kinds of use. Smear some of the confit on crostini, spoon a dollop into a bowl of pasta, use as a pizza sauce, or dilute it with cream for a silky, decadent soup.
