Sun-dried Tomatoes

There’s something to be said about growing your own food. Seeing the progress, feeling the accomplishment, and tasting the goodness of real and wholesome food. The plant started off slow and only produced a handful of tomatoes a week. Right as we were getting discouraged, the plant went crazy on us and provided more little red beauties than we knew what to do with! As always, it was a blessing in disguise. After using tomatoes in every recipe possible, we decided to try drying them to preserve them. The result? Amazingness! They are great as a soup topping, salad topping, on a charcuterie board, or even by themselves. 😉

Ingredients:


  • Cherry Tomatoes
  • Salt
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil (For packing, optional)

What to do:

Preheat oven to 175 degrees F. (Your oven is going to act as a dehydrator). Cut all the tomatoes in half. Scoop out all the seeds. Place on a baking sheet with the cut side facing upward. Sprinkle with salt to taste. Place in the oven until shriveled. This will take about 8 to 10 hours.

You can fill a mason jar with the tomatoes and fill the remaining space with extra virgin olive oil for packing purposes. Keep in refrigerator. They will last about 2 to 3 weeks.
