We love sun dried tomatoes.
Our tomatoes are not SUN dried, of course,
but, neither are the ones in the store.
That's just what they are called.
Fresh picked basil
with
parsley
Cloves of garlic and olive oil -
a great use for the over-abundance of cherry tomatoes found in the garden
a tray ready for the food dryer
The perfect job for little hands.
**PS. Because botulism is a remote possibility I freeze my jars after they have marinated for a little while.
I know that will thicken the oil, but the oil in my jar of Costco sun dried tomatoes is thick after I put it in the refrigerator too, so better safe than sorry. It takes less oil than I thought it would to pack a jar of tomatoes and herbs and we'll use that herb infused oil to drizzle on our salads later.
