Dried Tomatoes in Olive Oil

These tomatoes taste better than the expensive

"sun dried" ones at the supermarket .

Dip dried tomato slices in vinegar. Shake off excess. Pack in a jar and cover with olive
oil. Store at a cool temperature 1 month before use. Refrigerate for up to 6 months.
The oil solidifies at refrigerator temperatures, but quickly liquifies at room temperature.

Makes 1 pint.

CAUTION: Do not add fresh garlic or fresh herbs to oil packed tomatoes. The US
Department of Agriculture cautions against this because garlic and herbs are low-acid foods
which create a low-acid, anaerobic environment when placed in oil. This could result in the
perfect breeding ground for botulism.

1 cup extra light olive oil
1 lb. dried tomato slices

White wine vinegar
