If you're looking for a recipe that will double as delicious and as an aromatic powerhouse that will leave your home smelling incredible, I urge you to try making your own "sundried" tomatoes at home. The tomatoes - combined with a hint of garlic - smell wonderful while drying in the oven. They are a treat to taste test before packing away for storage, and a much more flavorful option compared to the store-bought varieties at your local grocery store.

Plus, this recipe is customizable! If you like something with a little more zest, you are welcome to sprinkle these tomato slices with some dried herbs of your choosing. A great option would be oregano or basil, but you can certainly experiment until you find the combination that works best for you.

  Your oven dried tomatoes in oil will keep well in the fridge for up to 6 months. The oil will solidify in the fridge and look cloudy. Do not panic! Just spoon out however much of the sun-dried tomatoes you want to use and pop the jar back in the fridge.

  Hi, Shelley! Thanks for your question! Homemade sundried tomatoes last in the refrigerator for 6-9 months. The good news is that they are so delicious they rarely last that long. (😉) I always suggest opening the jar and making sure no rancid odors are present before allowing them to thaw and use in your dish. Feel free to reach out with any additional questions and I look forward to hearing what you think of them!

  Hi, Teresa! Homemade sundried tomatoes last in the refrigerator for up to 6-9 months. Always remove the lid before using to ensure no rancid odors are present. Then, thaw (briefly) and enjoy! Would love to hear what you think if you give these a try! 😃
