Christian Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 She says you can use larger tomatoes too, just cut them smaller. Makes sense I guess! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Put them in the oven and immediately turn it off. Leave them in overnight with the door closed. That is my kinda cooking! I shall give this a go. Now I see why they are called "Moonblush". Lovely word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules. Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I made these overnight, & they are for our tea ( we're having visitors ) Should I refrigerate them now, or just leave them in the dish they were cooked in on the worktop? It doesn't say in the cook book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I'd leave them at room temperature if you are going to eat them today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I have made these 3 times this week already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omletina Kyckling Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I was in the midst of baking a coffee cake when I read this thread so quickly went and picked some of my tomatoes and they are now in the turned off oven doing their stuff! Thanks for the tip!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I made them again this week, with some of our own yellow cherry toms. All done and place in a jar, topped up with Olive oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 How long will they keep in the jar with the olive oil? Sounds ideal to use up the small toms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omletina Kyckling Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 How long will they keep in the jar with the olive oil? Sounds ideal to use up the small toms Mine never get as far as the jar and oil .....I've just had some piled on some crusty bread and they were yummy!!

Christian Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Well, they lasted about 3 days in the fridge until I got the munchies....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omletina Kyckling Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Well, they lasted about 3 days in the fridge until I got the munchies....... I convince myself that by not putting them in oil, they are really healthy, but not sure eating the whole trayful in one sitting is that healthy really....very satisfying though!!

Egluntyne Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 What a stroke of luck....I've got some cherry tomatoes sitting in the fridge, not doing very much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 You do have to make sure that if you have a fan to cool your oven down, that you switch it off. DON'T open the door, until the morning. They are really nice. I used sea salt and a few herbs from the garden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 They are in the oven. Nothing so posh as fan assisted though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I cannot switch my fan off when it comes on itself to keep the oven cooler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Oh,didn't think of the fan problem. Mine is fan assisted too, & it won't switch off. Wonder if cranking the heat up a bit will do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
