I dried tomatoes last year but I ate them all as soon as they were dry straight from the dehydrator. I love them too much. They take some drying though don't they. I grow Sungold, they are like sweets.
Matty - I would love to know what they taste like as I always get covered in beetroot jiuce when cooking them and hopefully white ones won't be as messy. Although having said that, the colour of the red liquid is very attractive and a friend of mine used to ask for my beetroot jiuce to dye her wool fleeces.
Steve, drying the toms in the oven with garlic and then olive oil is simliar to the Jamie Oliver "gummy tomatoes" that I do, it says you can keep 2 weeks in the fridge. So I've also frozen some to add to dishes.
The book I've referred to for years is Good Housekeeping GLUT cookery book. Bottling, salting, drying, freezing, jams, jellies, marmalades, chutneys and recipes.
Just been to check...oops..it was published in 1979. But my beans do freeze well using exact times in this old book.

Sungold are my favourites too. They are simply wonderful straight from the plant - I couldn't walk past without picking one..

looks an interesting book to try to obtain
Will have to get OH to scour the 2nd hand shops for it - he will really love doing that - like a pig in **** if he's in a 2nd hand book shop
Matty - have you cooked those white beetroot yet?
