I wanted to enjoy delicious tomatoes in a even more delicious way, and came up with these semi-dried tomatoes By using cherry tomatoes, the semi-dried tomatoes become very sweet, and packed with the rich umami flavor from the ripe cherry tomatoes.The semi-dried tomatoes contain residual moisture, so I recommend storing them in the refrigerator, and to use them up as soon as possible. The olive oil used to marinate the semi-dried tomatoes can be reused in other dishes. Recipe by Kokoa mama

Insects won't touch the tomatoes, they only go on sweet food, don't worry :)If you live in a humid region, the tomatoes will take a very long time to dry, so only do this in the summer.I eat this on bread, in salads, with pasta dishes etc

I often put a pasta dish in my daughter's bento box. She likes pasta with semi-dried tomatoes, but they are expensive if you buy them. I saw a TV show introducing a recipe one day and I tried to make them myself. It was so easy!Besides, these semi-dried tomatoes are super delicious before drizzling on the olive oil.

I wanted to make delicious dried tomatoes to eat as they are, rather than to store, so I topped them with garlic and parsley (or basil).They will be definitely delicious if you use nice tomatoes.If you get hold of fully ripe sweet tomatoes, please give this a try. They are delicious in a different way from fresh ones.The drier the tomatoes are, the longer they will keep.If you want to store them for a long time, dry them really well, and keep in the freezer, or marinate in oil. Put enough oil to cover the tomatoes. The dried tomatoes are also very tasty seasoned just with salt, so try various ways depending on what you will make with them. Recipe by Heartful Kitchen Rei

We eat a lot of cherry tomatoes, in all kinds of recipes.Make cuts into the tomatoes. The flavors of the marinade will penetrate them well! Recipe by Sanipan

This was a great deal of the day job!!!

Thirteen hours of sunlight a day left in September, you need four sunny days, no rain, to sun dry your ripe tomatoes. Lay them out in a line pointing to the south.

I came up with this when received a lot of delicious ripe tomatoes, and felt like eating a refreshing dish.These are also good with a little soy sauce.Other than corn, sliced onions, julienned cucumbers, or 'myoga' (Japanese ginger) are good too.These also delicious served over somen noodles.

I have fun coming up with various recipes.By adding sugar the tomatoes become sweeter. Add a good amount of salt too, or it won't taste good. The tomatoes will exude a lot of moisture, so this tastes better if the marinade is well flavored. Recipe by commeline

Every summers end brings an abundance of beautiful vine ripe tomatoes. This is one way to use the extras up and preserve some of that flavor. This freezes great and can be doubled or tripled just allow for a longer cooking time to thicken. We usually just enjoy it in little bowls as a side dish, but it makes a great topping for crusty bread as well!

I love the pretty color and shape of cherry tomatoes. I wanted to eat lots, so I made this cherry tomato marinade.The marinade is a little acidic, but when you add the tomatoes, it doesn't taste so acidic. If you don't like the acidity, reduce the amount of lemon juice or add a bit more sugar. Recipe by Komomomomo
