A flavor that saves from winter blues: how to cook sun-dried tomatoes

Sun-dried tomatoes for the winter are a real treat for the palate. They will be a great addition to any dish, and most importantly, they will preserve the beneficial properties of tomatoes during the winter season. The drying process removes moisture from the tomatoes, which allows them to be stored for a long time without the addition of preservatives. As a result, they become sweet and flavorful.
