Sundried tomatoes

Directions for use: Melissa's Dried Yellow Tomatoes will keep in their bag
or an airtight jar for at least a year. They can be used as is for chewy
bursts of flavor, or in several different ways. Blanching: Soak tomatoes in
the boiling water for 2 to 10 minutes.

Dried Tomato Oil/Marinated Tomaotes: For a light fruity oil with an earthy
sundried tomato flavor, blanch tomatoes as above, put into an airtight
glass container and cover with olive oil. For extra flavor, add basil or
oregano, or cloves of garlic. Always keep tomatoes covered with oil to
prevent molding. Use the oil in pastas, salads, or stirfries, and the
marinated tomatoes for sandwiches, meats or garnishes.

Dried Tomato Paste: In a blender, or food processor, process blanched or
marinated tomatoes to a paste with a little olive oil.
