 Tip from Marina: use plastic bowl or cup to warm up tomato mixture.

Semi melt white chocolate in the microwave using 30 seconds intervals. Add warm tomato mixture into melted white chocolate in 3 parts, stirring after each addition with the help of rubber spatula. Start stirring in the center and then increase circles toward the sides of the bowl. After that, using hand blender, emulsify the ganache until smooth. Add unsalted butter and pich of salt, then emulsify again. Transfer the ganache into glass container. Cover it by gently pressing plastic wrap onto surface (to contact). Refrigerate tomato ganache for 6-8 hours (or overnight).  Ganache will develop creamy consistency.
