Tomato, Onion and Goat Cheese Sandwiches

"Tomato jam" is the closest description to the flavors that result when plum tomatoes are oven roasted. The tomatoes are ready when they are wrinkled and darkened but still fairly moist. They will take at least an hour to prepare, so it is wise to double the recipe and reserve the remainder for another dish. They keep well frozen in a single layer in a heavy-duty plastic bag or airtight container for up to 1 month.
