When we read this recipe we were immediately enthusiastic, we love tomatoes, in all shapes and sizes! Especially the delicious, organically grown tomatoes from Frank de Koning. Those really are the best! Making dried tomatoes is not a lot of work, but you have to take the time to do it, because the drying takes 3 to 4 hours. But then you do have a large jar with the tastiest dried tomatoes in olive oil, homemade!
