IngredientsMakes: 940g
960gyellow cherry tomatoes
10gsalt
40golive oil
300golive oil
12gsage
12grosemary
12gthyme
130golive oil
Method
Makes one 950ml kilner jar full.
Cut the tomatoes in half.
For this many small tomatoes I place half of them on the clean counter, place a cutting board on top and slice between the two using a knife w/ a scalloped edge, much faster than doing them one at a time!
To dehydrate the tomatoes place them on 2 full size oven tray sprinkle generously w/ salt.
Bake fan 50C / 5h - open the oven door every half hour for the 1st 2 hours to let out steam, then every hour after that.
I've used sprigs of herbs because it's more decorative & it keeps the herbs in position in the jar.
Heat the herbs together in the oil to 90C / 194F - this wil kill bacteria but not frazzle the herbs!
Place them and a third of the oil into a sterilised 950ml kilner jar, add the dehdrated tomatoes and top up w/ oil.
Place a sterilized gauze in to keep the tomatoes submerged.
Job done . . . dip in when you fancy!
On top of mashed potato, to top humous & baguette, w/ pasta etc. . . etc.
