Storing dried tomatoes takes very little space, whether you keep them in the pantry, refrigerator, or freezer.
To store in the pantry or on a shelf
Place sealed containers in a cool, dry, dark place, maintained at about 60-70ºF. If completely moisture-free, dried tomatoes will keep flavor and texture for up to a year.
However, most dried tomatoes will have remnants of moisture that will permit mold to develop.
Tomato Dirt’s best recommendation: store dried tomatoes in refrigerator or freezer as a precaution.
To store in refrigerator or freezer
Seal tightly to prevent freezer burn. Label with date.
Dried tomatoes can be stored in the freezer or refrigerator and maintain flavor and texture for about 18 months.
Sun dried tomatoes served in oil are available commercially. However, you can make your own. Make batches as needed using dried tomatoes and oil (preferably olive oil).
