Instructions: Using a long spoon or wooden skewer, arrange two layers of tomato halves in bottom of a clean, dry, half-quart glass jar. Insert a few sprigs of rosemary and thyme. Make more layers, using spoon to pack tomatoes tightly, until the jar has been filled to within 1/2-inch from top. Add enough olive oil to completely cover tomatoes and the herbs. Seal tightly, and store, refrigerated, up to 1 month.

Makes 1 half-quart jar.

Yield: 1 pint
