While wasting away on my couch I had seen this great idea on one of the cooking shows on how to use a bunch of cherry tomatoes at one time. Since we are harvesting those daily from the garden I figured what better way to use them up.
The general idea was to use a bunch of them, put them in an oven-safe pan and add some garlic cloves, olive oil, oregano, and basil. Roast them in the oven. Sounds easy enough. I think I had them in there for like 30 minutes total. The smell was heavenly. I was thinking that I was really onto something here! I pulled them out, put them in the blender and blended it all together for a nice sauce.
Yeah, not so much. It was very bitter. Very. I decide to add a splash of cream and a little sugar to see if that would tone it down bit. It did help, but it was still not what I had in mind. And for sure not what the delicious smells were boosting it up to be.
Any ideas? What could I have done differently?

How long did Emeril say to roast them? Cause maybe the garlic didn't roast long enough?
Hey, not related to your tomato concoction...
I noticed your "pape bag consumed" tally at the bottom. I e-mailed them asking how to get it, but haven't heard from them.
Can you give me the HTML?
Thanks!!
Never been a fan of the cherries myself, but the chickens love 'em!! Got an award for you! Check out http://childreninthecorn.blogspot.com/2007/08/im-schmoozer.html
Mim: I dunno...I must have fallen asleep during that part.
Leeanthro: I would be happy to give it to you...so you have an email I can send it to or do you just want me to make a comment on it?
farm mom: I love them. But always have way too many! I am pretty much the only one who loves them! Thank you for the award! It made me smile.
It might be all the seeds. They can make a sauce bitter - if you used a potato masher rather than a blender & only pulverised at the very end your sauce might be sweeter.
Anonymous: Oh, the seeds. Didn't think of that. Thanks.
