this looks complicated!

I came across this recipe, which mostly cooks down the tomatoes, but reserves 2 smaller portions: one to roast slowly in the oven, and one to cook minimally, 10 minutes or so. He says that gives the sauce both the freshness of minimally cooked tomatoes and the concentrated sweetness of caramelized tomatoes, and claims it's a good way to make large batches without taking huge amounts of time. Still, it sounds complicated! But I might try it! I have a lot of tomatoes I need to harvest seeds from.
