Guest guest Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 Can I make my own sun dried tomatoes? Dry the tomatoes (like I did) - then what? Do I just put them in a jar with olive oil? Do people buy the ready made ones in the jar? Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 I've made them in my dehydrator, but not the sun (too many bugs here!). I put some in with olive oil and herbs, and some I keep in just an airtight jar, for when I need to soak them before use.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 Kristi - that is brilliant - I knew I could make my own. Question - why do you have to soak them before you use them if they have been soaking in olive oil??? I don't get that part.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 I keep some in olive oil, but some I just dry and put into a jar without olive oil. Just air! Those I soak in water before using in recipes to rehydrate them and make them softer (they will not end up like " normal " tomato slices after rehydrating) for easier blending, and I use them in recipes as a thickener without having all the added oil. The ones I keep in olive oil, I use as-is and don't soak in water. Hope I was clear...

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 Okay - great. I had some in the jar and made a red pesto sauce for our pizza on Eziekel's sprouted wheat tortilla. I added raisins in it and other things and it was outstanding because of the sun dried tomatoes. I want to duplicate it but have it totally raw. Thanks - I totally understood you.
