The sundried tomatoes you typically buy are packed in some sort of vegetable oil - however, if you can find the sundried tomatoes, not in oil, but rather just vacuum packed in a container or a bag, now you can easily jar your own, in EVOO - let me show you how :)
Sundried Tomatoes - Preserving and preparing
Ingredients
• Sundried tomatoes (not in oil, but rather, vacuum packed in a bag or container)
• Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
• Oregano
Equipment needed
• Large bowl for mixing
• Jars with lids (or any container with a lid)
Directions and Process
• Remove sundried tomatoes from their package, separate them, and put them in a large bowl
• Pour EVOO over the sundried tomatoes and toss together (the sundried tomatoes need to each be generously coated with EVOO)
• Add oregano to the sundried tomatoes – enough so each piece of sun-dried tomato has some oregano on them – toss well.
• Put a TBSP or 2 of EVOO in a jar, then add some sundried tomatoes to the jar. Fill about ¼ full, then tamp the sundried tomatoes down, to tightly pack and to remove any air pockets.
• Continue to fill 1/4 of the jar at a time, stopping to tamp them down each time.
• Fill the jar to about 1 inch from the top – tamp again – then add more EVOO to about 1/8 inch from the top of the jar.
• At this point, all your sundried tomatoes should be completely covered and well submerged in the EVOO, with no air touching the sundried tomatoes.
• You can now just put the lid on the jar and that’s it – they are sealed and can store right on your counter or in a cupboard (so long as the sundried tomatoes are completely submerged and covered with oil, they will not need refrigeration and will stay indefinitely)
• Enjoy 😊
