<gandhi@giasmd01.vsnl.net.in> Paul asked whether  it's possible to make
dried tomatoes at home.  I'm also new to the  list and whether we're
re-covering old territory, but Gourmet  magazine published a recipe for
making dried tomatoes in the  microwave which I've made several times.
I used the tomatoes which  are available to me in Madras, and used
newspaper instead of  unavailable paper towels. It makes only a small
quantity, and it  calls for storing the tomatoes in olive oil, which I
used to do. But  I should think that it would be safe to store the
dried tomatoes in  the fridge. You have to be watchful toward the end
of the process, or  the tomatoes can turn to cinders:  Season the
tomatoes with salt, arrange them, cut sides up, in a spoke  pattern on
several layers of microwave-safe paper towels in a  microwave oven, and
microwave them at medium power (50%), burning the  towels 180 degrees
once and removing the tomatoes as they dry, for 30  to 45 minutes, or
until they are dry to the touch. (The tomatoes  should still be
slightly moist inside; be careful not to let them  burn.) Transfer the
tomatoes to a rack and let them stand at room  temperature overnight.
