How do I make sun dried tomatoes?

Making Sun Dried Tomatoes

Making these at home is much more economical and very easy to do, although you will need to plan ahead.

12-24 Roma tomatoes
Salt

Slice the Romas three-quarters of the way through and
lay the halves out still connected. Sprinkle the cut side with salt to help draw out moisture.

Repeat this procedure with the other tomatoes. If the
air is perfectly dry and the sun hot, cover the tomatoes with cheese cloth and dry them in the
sun.

Or you can slip the tomatoes into a very low oven--250 to 275 degrees. Dry uncovered, for about 6 hours or until the tomatoes are rubbery.
