Dried Tomatoes"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>In an effort to reduce the tomato quantities covering every surface in the kitchen, I took all the smaller fruits and the cherry tomatoes and oven dried them all day yesterday.\u00a0 I managed to get two full sheets done by 9pm before heading to bed.\u00a0 Today, I&#8217;ll stuff them in a jar and cover them in olive oil before storing it in the fridge.\u00a0 It&#8217;s hard to believe that all that fruit can be reduced to just a jar.\u00a0 It does take about 12 hours, more or less, so make sure you have a day at home set aside.\u00a0 I&#8217;ve done it overnight before.\u00a0 You put them in before you go to bed and then grab them in the morning~ish.\u00a0 But because all my tomatoes were of different sizes and levels of liquid, I needed to supervise it and pull the smaller ones out as they finished.<\/p>\n<p>I tried a different technique with oil, too.\u00a0 I usually rub all the cut tomatoes in olive oil.\u00a0 But in an effort to save time, I threw caution to the wind and sprayed them with a cooking oil spray from Costco&#8230;.the Kirkland brand spray&#8230;.because it&#8217;s oil and not chemicals.\u00a0 It was less heavy and it worked beautifully.\u00a0 (phew!)\u00a0 From here you can toss them into salads or puree them as a nice alternative to pizza sauce!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone
