Sun-Dried Cherry Tomatoes
2 containers cherry tomatoes
Virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper
Basil, freshly chopped

Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.

Wash tomatoes, and cut them in half. Place on a baking tray with the
flat side facing up. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the tray in
oven for approximately 5 to 6 hours. The time will vary. Bake until
they have more or less completely shriveled and the moisture is gone,
making sure they do not burn. Remove tomatoes from oven, add the basil
and place in a jar that can be tightly sealed. Fill the jar completely
with olive oil. You can keep the jar on the counter for several weeks
or store it in the refrigerator.
