When there are not enough days to eat all your garden tomatoes, here's a great way to preserve them. If you are lucky to live somewhere that's hot and dry you can let your tomatoes sun dry outdoors for a couple of days, however if you live in the east coast a better option to sun dried tomatoes is oven dried tomatoes. All you need for this recipe is time, tomatoes, olive oil, and salt.
"Sundried"Tomatoes
Preheat your oven to 250’F, slice tomatoes in half (lengthwise), place skin-side down on lightly oiled baking tray, season with a little salt and place in oven for about 8 hours.
You can then place the cooled oven dry tomatoes in mason jars with a little finely chopped garlic and dry oregano and cover in oil.
this looks wonderful deliciously done

ReplyDeleteI love homemade oven-dried tomatoes. The flavor is just super!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful. I've been sun drying them on the roof here in california, in a screened frame. They are really nice whizzed in a blender into a powder, which you can add to anything, soups, salads, for extra zing on meat. Great stuff. Ken
