Dried Tomatoes

The drought really hit most of our tomatoes very hard.  However, the black cherry tomatoes flourished. So much so that I really had no idea what I was going to do with them all.  Last week I read a recipe for  dried tomatoes and thought it would be perfect.  I washed and halved all of the tomatoes. Then I tossed them in a little olive oil and baked them at 200 degrees F for about 4 hours. The timing will most likely vary depending on how juicy your tomatoes are.  I let them cool and then put then in a jar covered in oil and I'm storing them in the refrigerator.
