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

Steps

1

Halve cherry tomatoes and put them on a wooden cutting board lined with parchment paper. Add salt (it draws moisture out of the tomatoes)
2

Set tomatoes on your balcony in the sun. My tomatoes took 3 days to dry, it's 40°C outside. They should be dry but not crispy, you're looking for the texture of a dried apricot. If the tomatoes are too dry, they won't taste good and if they are too watery, they will spoil quickly in the jar, so check regularly on them
3

Once dry, put tomatoes in a sterilized jar, submerge in good quality olive oil. You can add spices as well, I added fresh rosemary and a whole clove of garlic
