Instructions

1. 1. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and move the rack to about 8″ from the broiler. Broil the tomatoes for about 6 to 8 minutes until they are slightly charred and ready to burst.
  2. Allow tomatoes to cool and place in a sieve to drain the juices. Discard the juice.
  3. Move to the bowl of a food processor and add the thyme, salt, and pepper. Pulse a few times to combine.
  4. Add the butter and blend until smooth.
  5. Store in jars and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before using.

Notes

If you want your tomato butter to be like a compound butter, you will want to strain the tomatoes and discard the juice. If you want it to be more like a sauce for pasta, you can leave some of the juice.
