Oven- Dried Tomatoes
Why pay the price for sun-dried tomatoes when you can do the same in your oven. If you've never eaten them, dried tomatoes are like candy. The sugar content is concentrated and the flavor is explosive. I dry my tomatoes by the armloads so I can savory their sweetness right through the winter season!
Roma or paste tomatoes dry best. Cut them in half and place on cookie sheet with cut side up. Lightly sprinkle tomatoes with kosher or table salt. Place in 250-degree oven keep oven door propped open with wooden spoon. Cook 6-10 hours or until tomatoes are leathery but not dry. Store in a zippered bag. Place in freezer.

I am searching for Rebecca Koll's sugar cookie recipe along with the glaze receipe. Found it last year, can't find it now. NEED IT! HELP - sweetsuesmith@comcast.net
Susan,
I hope this is the recipe you are looking for:
"Kolls Family Christmas Cookies:
Ingredients:
2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
6 tablespoons butter
2/3 cups shortening
3/4 cups sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoons vanilla
4 teaspoons milk
1/4 -1 teaspoon lemon extract (to taste)
For the icing;
powdered sugar
milk
vanilla
almond extract
drop of lemon extract
Optional: food coloring
For Decorating:
Sprinkles
Colored sugars
Edible decorative gels
To Make the Cookie Dough:
First mix together all the dry ingredients in a bowl. In another bowl, beat the butter and shortening for 30 seconds. Add the sugar to the butter/shortening mixture and beat until flully. Next, add an egg, milk, vanilla and lemon extract and beat again. Now you can mix in the dry ingredients slowly. Cover the dough mixture and chill in fridge for at least three hours or overnight.
Once the dough is well chilled, dust a small amount with flour and roll it out between two pieces of wax paper. When the dough is the desired thickness, peel off the top layer of wax paper. Now you can go to town with your cookie cutters! Dip a cookie cutter in flour, and press the cutter into the dough. Place the cut dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet and continue rolling out and cutting the dough.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Bake the cookies until just golden, about 6-8 minutes. Let them cool on the sheet, then transfer them to paper towels. Now you're ready to begin icing the cookies!
To Make The Icing:
Mix powdered sugar with milk until you achieve the desired consistency. (I prefer mine slightly thinner than pancake batter). Add a few drops of lemon, almond and vanilla extracts and food coloring if desired. Paint the cooled cookies with glaze - I find a pastry brush works well - and decorate while the glaze is still wet. Enjoy!"
That's it, word for word!
Can the tomatoes be dried in a food dehydrator rather than the oven?
