I will definitely keep this recipe handy especially when we have more tomatoes than we know what to do with this summer! Wasn't sure whether to use dried or fresh herbs. Didn't have fresh so used dried. Would use fresh next time. Used as a pizza topping and in a frittata — to start.

I'm so excited about this recipe! Where I live, it can be sometimes hard to find sundried tomatoes at all, let alone ones that don't cost an arm and a leg or look particularly petrified. I didn't read the directons close enough and had to modify a bit by cooking the one hour, then only letting them set for about 5 hours, but they still had dried out and shriveled up and tasted amazing...so sweet and concentrated. I'll definitely only use this recipe and leave that processed junk behind. I'll probably put a batch or two in a jar with some nice olive oil for next time too! Thanks Mirj!

I have made 3 trays of this recipe and am well stocked for the winter. I mixed the oil. squeezed garlic, oregano & oil in a plastic bag then threw in the tomatoes to coat them. Baked for 2 hours and left in the oven until it was completely cool. I have just done a whole tray of GREEN tomatoes and although they have a different flavor from the ripe tomatoes it is very pleasing and I can think of a dozen ways of using them including bruchettas, sauces, salads etc etc. What a before the frost garden saver!!! Thanks Mirjam this is a winner I am still picking green tomatoes from the garden

WOW! what amazing flavor these have! I added more garlic because I love it, the smell as this was cooking the first hour was the most amazing! I did let them sit all night in the oven and they are beautiful BUT next time after the first hour I am tossing these beauties with some linguini and parmesan cheese and eating them right then and there! I urge you to try these I was lucky and have a huge amount of tomatoes, but I would go out and buy them just to make this WONDERFUL recipe... thank you so much Mirjam
