Ok, can you please clarify for me the olive oil part? Do I just take whole tomatoes and put in olive oil and let sit for 3-4 days? Does the oil dry the tomatoes up or what else do I need to do?
There was a great thread with drying recipes on here a year or two ago. I would do a search if I were you. I tried marinating mine a couple of times in red wine but found that I prefer the flavor plain best. It's hard to imagine how intense a really good,sweet tomato can taste when that flavor is multiplied by drying.
I keep my baggies of tomatoes in the refridgerator amd have had them last over a year when I've forgotten about them. A little tiny bag holds a lot of tomatoes,too.
