About Sun-dried Tomatoes

Sun-dried tomatoes have a tart, sweet flavor and can add a punch of flavor to a dish. They are tomatoes that have been dehydrated by leaving them in the sun for a few days.

You can make your own sun-dried tomatoes by dehydrating tomatoes. This is a great way to use up any leftover tomatoes you might have. But, if you are anything like me and do not want to put forth the time and effort, you can easily buy them at the store!

Store-bought sun-dried tomatoes come in 2 forms: packed in oil, and dry packed. If you use the dry-packed variety, soak them in liquid before using them. The sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil are ready to use right out of the jar. You can buy them whole or julienned. The oil in the jar can also be used to add some flavor.
