Instructions

Clean and dry the tomatoes. Slice them into fairly thin slices, about a quarter inch thick or less.
Lay out your tomatoes on dehydrator racks. Do not overlap.
Sprinkle the tomatoes with a bit of salt, pepper, dried basil and/or dried oregano. Cover, and turn on the dehydrator at 140 degrees.
Dry for 6-8 hours, but check them after 6 hours to ensure they do not over dry. You want them to be slightly pliable. Flip them once about half way through the process.
Remove the tomatoes and layer them in a jar with fresh basil leaves, rosemary sprigs, and a bit more salt, pepper, dried basil and dried oregano.
Cover them in oil and store in the refrigerator in tightly capped jars. Should last 4 days.
