Moonblush Tomatoes

Moonblush - isn't that a romantic word? I made these slow-roasted tomatoes to add to a pasta salad I prepared today. I put the tomatoes in the oven before I went to bed last night & took them out around 8am this morning. So simple. They are absolutely delicious right from the oven or mixed in a salad.
