I dried a load in my car when it was summer (remember that long back ) and they dried a treat on the rack at the back, was going to try and blush them but the weather has been rubbish I also use the car to rise my bread dough (it smells a treat after!!!

Hi Jo

Cut ripe tomatoes in half and place cut side up on a grid in a roasting tray/grill pan. I usually give mine a grind of black pepper and a drizzle of olive oil - sometimes I add slithers of garlic. Then just roast in a very low oven until most of the moisture has gone - different types/sizes of tomatoes will take different amounts of time. Then, whilst still warm I pack them into a sterilised jar with any other bits I want to add - usually fresh thyme and a couple of garlic cloves, cover in olive oil, tap to remove any air bubbles then put on the lid. I store mine in the fridge. They're then either eaten on their own, as antipasto with cold meats, chopped and used in a goats cheese and red onion tart - or even added to bolognese to give it a bit more depth.

Happy "sun-blushing".

Hi Philip... Thx for your reply. I would love any recipes for sbt that you have. Thanks

Hi Mrs Woof Woof. Thx for your reply. Do you have a recipe that you could pass onto me? Thanks

Jo - I sell Austrailian & Italian SBT in my Deli. If u add some fresh mozzerella to them, their really nice.

The Galley @ Horning sells the most delicious sun blush tomato from their deli counter. Great with their Irish cream cheese !!

Jo - they're much nicer when homemade - and a darn sight cheaper too.

MrsWW

Glad you've got them

Found some in Sainsburys - It's 15 miles away but it doesnt matter. Thanks for your help. I hope they are worth all this lol

Hi Fudge's Mum. Thanks for your reply. After I read your reply this morning I went into my local Tesco and asked at the Deli counter, but they said they didn't sell Sun-blushed tomatoes. Maybe your Tesco stocks a better selection than mine does. It doesn’t look as if I am going to get any here so would you be able to tell me what spices are used in the bought ones. I read someone on here about making them myself but it didn’t mention the herbs and spices used. Thanks

I bought some from the deli counter at Sainsbury on Friday, Tesco had them in their deli too!
