Oven-Roasted Cherry Tomato Sauce
 I originally posted this recipe back in November of 2015 when I had a bumper crop of cherry tomatoes and needed to use them up in a quick and easy way. This recipe was such a success that I purposefully plant several cherry tomato plants each year so that I can make this delicious sauce.
 Several years ago we ended up with a ton of cherry tomatoes. They produced all the way until Thanksgiving, which is highly unusual.Â
  I had a friend give me a bunch of plants of unknown variety that year and they all ended up being cherry tomatoes. There are only so many that you can cut up and add to salads so I knew I had to find something to do with them.
 I LOVE this recipe because it’s easy to make, super creamy and freezer-friendly. I put mine through a food mill
