Oven-Dried Tomatoes

Have you tried Oven-Dried Tomatoes before? It's this cool method of drying tomatoes that doesn't require the sun, but essentially the end result is something that tastes similar to a sun-dried tomato. The "drying" process removes moisture and concentrates the tomato flavor. In the next week or so, I will be posting a few recipes that use Oven-Dried Tomatoes.  They are great on salads, in pastas, on pizzas, etc.
