Here in the UK we seem to get very little sun so we have to resort to other methods.

Making [[Sun-dried tomatoes]] without the sun is an ideal task for a slow Aga.

| Place them in the oven for about 7 hours, or until most of the moisture has been removed - check them every hour or so as you don't want them to be crispy!
| Remove them and leave them to cool

===FOOD POISONING===

Don't add [[Garlic|garlic]] as some recipes suggest because there is a '''very real danger of botulism''' as it is an anaerobic toxin (one that develops in an air-free environment - read: [[Talk:Garlic olive oil]].

If you want to be really scared, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Botulism read what Wikipedia has to say on botulism].
