What to do with extra tomatoes? Dry them in the oven to maximize their flavor! Plum or Roma tomatoes work best for drying because they are thick-fleshed with few seeds.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 200°F. Rinse tomatoes under cold running water and remove stems; drain on paper towels. Cut each tomato in half lengthwise. Using small spoon, scoop out and discard seeds.
- Place tomato halves in single layer, cut sides down on broiler rack. Place larger halves on outer edges of rack for even cooking.
- Dry in oven 6 to 12 hours or until tomatoes are shriveled, dry to the touch and very chewy in texture, turning once after 4 hours. Edges may be crisp, but tomatoes should not be crisp in center; they should be somewhat pliable. Check after 6 hours and remove any smaller tomatoes that have dried. Tomatoes will be dark red and some pieces may have brown or dark spots.
- Remove from oven and cool completely. Store in tightly covered container in cool dark location. To rehydrate, place tomatoes in small bowl. Cover with hot or boiling water. Let stand 15 to 30 minutes or until softened.
