I hate the curled up thin skins when I cook fresh toms in my soups and sauces, and pick them out.
Thanks, Those are probably a mix of Jersey Devils and San Marzano, my Piennolos have been a good bit smaller, and may almost dry out too much @275 for 4 hrs.

I've been wanting to try this, but I don't have any place that meets the required temp range.
I suspected temp and maybe humidity played a roll. To the cellar they go next year

In the house is not a good idea.
Just about any small tomato will work.

My patio tends to get a little to cold be Nov, but that would be a sweet spot.
On other small tomatos, I figured there were some cherries that might work. The Black Verinassage was a solid little tomato for me, but fell to blight and sunburn before I could try them.


Thanks for the ideas you all.
