How to Make Your Own Sundried Tomatoes

Notice how much I take advantage of the summer heat for my craft projects? I'm lining up more summer DIY projects, and this one is definitely one of the simplest and yummiest!

I first learned about sundried tomatoes through my sister Germee back in gradeschool. She loved buying cold cuts, different types of cheese, and pickled veggies from a local delicatessen. She gave me a few pieces of the best and first sundried tomatoes I've ever tasted. It was always a treat for me snacking on them. Until eventually, I realized how expensive they were!

There's an organic vegetable store near the studio so I figured why not make my own sundried tomato salad!

  1. Hi,

    I am looking forward to try sun drying tomatoes here in the Philippines, I am wondering if it'll actually work. Average temperature is between 27-30 degree celsius with average humidity of between 60%-80%. I'm worried it'll just end up getting rotten tomatoes because of the humidity here. Thanks.
