You need to cut the tomatoes in half and dehydrate them. Store in a ziplock bag and when you want "sundried" tomatoes in olive oil, take some tomatoes out of the ziplock bag, put them in a container with a lid, pour extra virgin olive oil over the tomatoes, covering by at least one half inch and let the container sit on the cabinet 3 or 4 days. The tomatoes will be ready to use anyway you would normally use sundried tomatoes. You can store the tomatoes in olive oil in the fridge for 2 or 3 weeks safely. I have stored them longer than that but I believe I read that 2 weeks was the safe amount of time they could be stored in the fridge.
