Gardens are exploding throughout Indiana despite our complete lack of water, so my sister, Julie, had quite a few tomatoes to spare.Realizing that all could not be eaten in time, I decided to go ahead and try drying them in the sun. Since we don't live in Tuscany, most recipes just suggested a very cool oven. So after six hours (thank god, I can program it to run while we're sleeping) - the small tomatoes (1/4 the size of a roma) came out nice and dry. Turns out a cookie sheet makes about 2 cups of dried.
As I write this I am struck by the thought, that my large tomatoes are still sitting in the oven after four days (hope they were really dry). Oh well
