Several years ago, you could only look at sun-dried tomatoes, because their price was unreasonably high. But with the purchase of an electric dryer and the best option, the question disappeared. I share the recipe!
Cooking description:
Pay attention to tomatoes when choosing them. It is important to take dense, non-spoiled, small size. The larger the fruit, the longer it will dry out. The optimal time is 12-14 hours. Sometimes, if the fruit is slightly larger than cherry, the drying is kept in 8 hours. Choose spices according to your taste, but in my opinion Italian herbs are the best choice.

How to cook "Sun-dried tomatoes in an electric dryer"
Prepare the required ingredients. Cut the clean tomatoes into halves or quarters. Remove seeds and excess pulp. Transfer the prepared tomatoes to a colander, sprinkle with salt. For the indicated number of tomatoes, I took approximately 2.5 tablespoons. Place the colander on a plate and let sit for 30 minutes. After the time has passed, place the tomatoes on the wire racks of the electric dryer at a distance from each other. Pour a small pinch of Italian herbs into each half or quarter. If there are spicy, fresh herbs available, place them on top. Do the same with the rest of the tomatoes, cover the dryer and turn it on. Leave on for 12-14 hours. After 12-14 hours, the tomatoes are ready for the next process.
