I dry any tomato that didn't sell at market; they all dry wonderfully. But the most surprising, fruity flavor comes from Blush, one of the Artisan cherry varieties. My neighbor says it's like eating a dried apricot. I tried Brokenbar's recipe, and while it was good, I decided I like them best just sprinkled with a little sea salt. It's a lot easier, too! Although I have also really enjoyed sprinkling the sliced pieces with Memphis Rub, like you'd use for ribs or pulled pork, smoking them with a cool (160 degree) smoke, then drying them. Now that's a snack you can sink your teeth into! Or, season with a combo of garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano and basil, salt, pepper, and hot pepper powder, smoked, then dried. Juliets are a nice sized tomato for dried snack.
