My tomato plants are ripening up so I’m keen on the semi-dried tomatoes idea. How well do they keep under olive oil? I’m not sure how much of the harvest it’s worth preserving this way if they don’t last long.

They last for a long time providing they are handled with clean hands (I were disposable rubber gloves), sterilize the glass jar correctly and I normally use the cheaper olive oil however the olive oil can be used for cooking one you have used all the tomatoes. Keep them refrigerated or I sometimes freeze the semi-dried tomatoes without keeping them in oil. The oil locks out any fresh air and so does freezing them.

Good luck and enjoy!
