The tomatoes are starting to roll in! We're not getting a great harvest in our garden this year, but thanks to the generosity of friends, we have a nice supply. Other years we made and froze sauce--which works great--but this year we decided to try drying them. We used the oven and various
directions we found on-line. Ours seemed to take longer (12 hours plus), but I think I didn't have the oven temperature high enough (I'm going with 200 degrees on the next batch). They are much easier than making sauce--and I was surprised to discover that I (not a lover of raw tomatoes) like them! They have a wonderful sweetness and great texture.
