To be honest, I sloooowly cooked the tomatoes at 170 degrees for 4 hours. I had a bite of one and wasn't so excited. Don't get me wrong, I think I was waiting so long and didn't know exactally what to expect and well...I made something else with them. I hope you don't mind me posting this. I had some basil infused olive oil, some fresh motzerella and some fresh basil from a friend of mine. I used a papertowel and dabbed off the excess oil from the tomatoes. I then placed a slice of fresh motzerella on the tomato. I placed the fresh basil in the basil infused olive oil and let sit a few minutes and then placed that on top of the Motzerella. I know that there may be a lot of recipes out there for something similar. It's just what I had on hand. All 'n All I will make this again. Thank you for the oppertunity to make these great tomatoes for PAC fall 2006. Barbara :)
