Why These Ingredients
Common Mistakes, Notes, Prep in Advance, Storage, Swaps & Tips
Notes:
- Every oven varies — start checking at 4 hours and continue in 30-minute increments until leathery and concentrated but not burnt.
- Remove smaller tomatoes earlier if they dry faster than larger ones.
Storage:
- Fridge in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Submerge in olive oil for longer storage. Freeze for up to 3 months.
Swaps:
- Any ripe tomato variety works — Roma, plum, cherry, or grape.
Tips:
- Store in a jar covered with olive oil, garlic, and herbs for incredible flavor and shelf life.
- Use on pizza, pasta, sandwiches, salads, or straight from the jar as a snack.
