Oven Dried Tomatoes
Oven drying is a great way to move literally pounds of large cherry type tomatoes (or any tomato for that matter) from the garden into a manageable yet flavorful form for future use. Dehydrating them in the oven concentrates the tomato flavors which become delious additions to soups, stews, chilli, toasted breads, fresh cheeses, and savory sandwiches like turkey bacon or blt's. My favorite way to eat the so far is in-between toasted focacia with fresh goat cheese (chevre) a sprinkle of salt and pepper, with bacon and fresh oven baked turkey. Turkey season i just arous the corner too so I suggest you get to oven drying.
