If you slice grape (or cherry) tomatoes in half, sprinkle them with salt and pepper, lay them cut-side up in a single layer on a baking sheet, and cook them at 200F for a very long time, until they shrivel up like raisins... you'll wind up with dried tomatoes so intensely tomato-y they literally make the eyes water.

I'll have to think of something cool to do with 'em.

(Not something that would probably be cost-effective to do in general, but I had a carton of grape tomatoes that had gotten a little old and wrinkly, and I wanted to do something with them before they went bad....)

Dip them in chocolate. No, really. Tomatoes like either a very, very dark or an extremely light milk, depending on how sweet they are.

Oh! I wouldn't have thought of that on my own, but it's an excellent idea. Especially as the boy and I like chocolate-covered dried berries, and these have a very similar flavor profile.
