Skin the tomatoes by cutting crosses in them then sticking in boiling water, though this is not necessary. Do so only if tomato skins bother you. Scatter onions over a large shallow baking tray, then scatter garlic and herbs on top. Halve tomatoes and layer on, cut side up. Sprinkle over sugar and drizzle over vinegar and oil. Season to taste. Roast for about an hour at 190 degrees, until tomatoes are browned at edges but still juicy, and onions soft and brown but not charred. You can then blend this sauce until chunky or smooth, depending on your taste.
