NOTES : Oven drying is another way to enjoy tomatoes when they are at their

summer best and in generous supply. The tomatoes become sweeter after

drying, and marinating adds an extra burst of flavor. For shorter

preparation time, bake the tomatoes for just 2 to 3 hours, until I are just

partially shriveled, then toss them with some fresh tomato halves and serve

the mixture atop mixed baby greens for a contrast in texture and flavor.
