Summer Harvest

Oven-Dried Tomatoes
Printable Version
Directions: Start with ripe tomatoes. Plum tomatoes are the best. But other varieties will work. Wash tomatoes and cut in half lengthwise. Scrape out the seeds and lightly salt.

Preheat the oven to 170 degrees. Arrange the halved tomatoes, skin side down on racks placed on baking sheets. Check the tomatoes every hour or so. Remove smaller ones and let the larger ones continue to cook. Some may take up to 12 hours. As they dry, the tomatoes will shrivel and darken, and begins to feel like leather.

Store tomatoes in an air-tight container or pack in jars and cover with extra-virgin olive oil. Tomatoes must be completely covered with oil. Will keep two months at room temperature or for one year in the refrigerator.
