Love this and I may do that this weekend as I’ve got a few pounds of tomatoes but not really enough to can this week. Anyway, tips on using the sundried tomatoes or how to incorporate them? I usually just blend them into homemade hummus but would love some more ideas.

These look fantastic! I’ve been looking for a recipe to either dehydrate or store in oil, and I think this one it. Can’t wait to make them! Thanks for sharing!

Fabulous recipe – I buy my sun-dried tomatoes in bulk at Costco for way, way, way cheaper than the grocery store, but I’d like to make them myself for even bigger savings. I’ve always wanted to get a dehydrator – will have to pick one up one of these days.

The Costco ones are tasty, but if I remember correctly, they have added chemicals. You’ll love these and you’ll love the dehydrator.

Hello, I really want to try my hand at making my own sun-dried tomatoes this year, so I’m doing all my research BEFORE the tomatoes have even started to grow so I will hopefully understand and get all questions answered in advanced. I want to store some in a bag like you suggested first, but I also want to store some in oil with additional herbs also (like the ones you can buy at the stores). The only thing that is turning me away from that is the fact I have to store them in the refrigerator right away, is it possible to pressure cook/can or even just hot water bath the jars to seal them so they have a longer shelf life instead of having to be refridgerated? I thought that a jar or home-made sun dried tomatoes in oil would be GREAT christmas gifts for my family members but obviously I don’t want to have that many jars filling up my fridge till December!
