Bekah picks Roma Tomatoes and Sweet Basil in the garden.
After dehydrating at 125 degrees for about 7-9 hours, this is what the finished product looks like. The texture is that of a raisin.
The weather is hot and my tomatoes are multiplying by the dozens. I was wondering what I should do with so many, and a simple internet search led me to sun dried tomatoes. I don't know why I didn't think of this myself since I often buy small jars of sun dried tomatoes at Trader Joe's for about $4.50.
After drying them I soaked about 2 cups full (of the dried tom.) in about 1/4-1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil, along with oregano (mostly this herb), some basil, sea salt, and garlic. I put all this into a little crockery jar with a tight sealing lid and shook it throughout the day (left out on the counter) to distribute the dressing.
After 24 hours, a loaf of my daughter's homemade Artisan bread, and these tomatoes, well needless to say it was a complete and absolutely delicious meal that anyone would have paid $$$ for!
The next video will show the finished product!
Blessings,
Shannon
