My mama did the car way for years.Dad had old screen door and a station wagon .perfect match for drying

I plan on getting a dehydrator some day. Until then I'll use the car method. Thanks

You can dry them just like apples on a screen in a hot car ,just use a old window screen or make a new one that will lay on the seat back and the back seat and put a piece of plastic on seat and tomatos on screen and start drying .or do the easy way with a food dehydrator ..Then vacume seal in bags and enjoy all winter.

How do you make your own sun dried tomatoes and also store them? How long do they keep? I love sun dried tomatoes and I want to learn to make my own.

Basil has a famous affinity for tomatoes. All along the Mediterranean coast, from the French Riviera to the toe of Italy, a common lunch of uncommon perfection is a crusty roll split and filled with sliced ripe tomatoes, a dash of salt, a generous splash of olive oil, and a few basil leaves, all gently squashed so that the juices soak into the bread.
