Directions
-
I do mine in the oven.
-
It takes considerably more time, but is incredibly easy & sensible considering plum tomatoes are $.39/kb and dried are over $4/lb.
-
Plum tomatoes (Roma), any quantity you desire.
-
Cut lengthwise.
-
Removing stems is optional.
-
Sprinkle with a pinch of salt, or less and arrange them on a flat cookie sheet, skin side down.
-
Place in an oven with the temperature
-
set as low as you can get it (100 F is perfect)> Preheating is not necessary and
-
allow to dry for four hours.
-
At the end of 4 hours, check them, sometimes the ones at the back of the oven will go faster than the front.
-
Turn the pan if necessary.
-
The tomatoes should have shrunk to about 1/2 their thickness, but still have some moisture in the center.
-
Gently prick them with a fork on the cut edge, not the skin.
-
Continue to dry them until they have the consistency of a dried apricot, about 2-4 hours more.
-
Just be careful that they don't get too dry or that the heat is too high.
-
Hard tomatoes are not enjoyable, and too much heat will ruin the texture.
-
To store them, put them into a container that will breathe for short term, or store them in the 'fridge in olive oil for long term.
-
They are especially good right out the oven on grilled hamburgers or chopped up inside hamburgers
