METHOD

Preheat the oven to 220C/gas mark 7/450F.

Cut the tomatoes in half and sit them cut side up in an ovenproof dish. Sprinkle with the salt, sugar, thyme and olive oil. Put them in the oven and immediately turn it off.

Leave the tomatoes in the oven overnight or for a day without opening the door.
