sun dried tomatoes~

 put the sun to work for you...


cut your tomatoes into thirds and lay flat


choose your seasonings, i used s&p, lavender, basil, rosemary, italian seasoning, herbs de provence, the choice is yours.






my husband built me these stacking trays from old pallets,  
i took window screen material and fitted them inside the trays and then covered the tops, secured with push pins, to keep out the insects and birds.


i bring the trays in at night because of wildlife. in our constant heat i knew these would be ready in no more then 2 days. i kept taste testing them, i thought they were perfect in just a half of a day, but decided to give them 2 full days. 



after drying to the plumpness of raisin, i firmly pressed them tightly in an air tight jar and covered with olive oil.

  1. Delish and so smart and I have chalkboard tray envy! That's some serious heat, we're melting here in the triple digits for the first time this summer. I don't know how you're surviving. :)
