Last year my dil ate smoked dried tomatoes at a Italian restraunt and asked me to make her some, so I had Black Plum growing and used them cut in half and I used heavy smoke from wet Mesquite chips for one hour then moved them into the dehydrator at 120deg overnight and pierced with exacto knife the next morning and continued drying till pliable and placed in widemouth pint jars covered with EVOO. I let them stand in cool dark shelf for about a week and within a month we had eaten all 4pints. This year we are trying Black Cherry. They are surprisingly delicious!8)
