Oven-Dried Tomatoes

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. Bake: 5 hours + cooling YIELD: 4 servings.
We owned an organic greenhouse and business where we taught classes. I had 100 tomato varieties to work with, so I started oven-drying them and taught my students how to do it as well. —Sue Gronholz, Beaver Dam, Wisconsin

Ingredients

  • 8 plum tomatoes
  • Ice water
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh basil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 250°. Fill a large saucepan two-thirds with water; bring to a boil. Cut a shallow "X" on the bottom of each tomato. Place tomatoes, a few at a time, in boiling water just until skin at the X's begins to loosen, about 30 seconds. Remove and immediately drop into ice water. Pull off and discard skins.
  • 2. Cut tomatoes in half lengthwise. Combine tomatoes, oil, basil, garlic, salt and pepper; toss to coat. Transfer tomatoes, cut side up, to a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Roast until tomatoes are soft and slightly shriveled, about 5 hours. Cool completely; store in the refrigerator.
