Sun Dried Tomatoes

1Kg Small tomatoes (plum) as many as you want
cover in olive oil,
2 to 4 cloves garlic, pressed
1 tbsp dried marjoram
1 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
Pepper lightly sprinkled.

How to prepare:

The way i do it is not outside which they would do in Italy or Spain but by using an oven. It does take along time so prepare this recipe for overnight and resist the temptation in the night to pop down and test, its very hard to do i fail regularly. Ok cut the tomatoes in halfs and lay on a large baking tray with the seed side up. Mix the Garlic and herbs together and cover all the tomatoes in Olive Oil then sprinke the herbs on top and finish with lightly sprinkling pepper. Thats it for preparation now how to make them look like you got them from a supermarket. Turn on the oven to a very low heat so its barly on, you want the tomatoes to dry not cook so use a temperature of 90 degrees C and then place the tomatoes on the shelves if you used more than one tray and now the key point leave the oven door open on a jar. This will stop them from cooking. Leave for upto 7 hours in the oven depending on the size of the tomatoes used. Once the Tomatoes are done take them out and cover them generously in Olive Oil or put them in a jar with olive oil, they will stay fresh for a month in the fridge like this.
