When tomatoes from the garden or farmer's market come in faster than you can eat them, extend the life of those ultra-ripe beauties by drying them in your oven. Sturdy plum tomatoes work particularly well for oven-drying. The low-temperature roasting intensifies the flavor and preserves them for later use. Serve them on their own sprinkled with salt, in a pasta dish, or anywhere a recipe calls for sun-dried tomatoes.
