"Sun"-dried tomatoes

By tixrus-2

Sun dried tomatoes bring intense sunny tomatoey taste to dishes in the winter when those wussy store bought tomatoes just won't do.

Ingredients

• As many beautiful perfect vine ripened tomatoes as you have

Preparation

Step 1

Take out the centers and remove any imperfections. Slice small tomatoes in two; Slice large ones into thick slices. Place on dehydrator trays. They may take up to eight hours to fully dry. They are done when there are no squishy pockets and the outside is dry to the touch. Do not overdry or they will be crispy and lose flavor. Do not underdry or they will rot.
