Canning cherry tomatoes?

[Retrograde]

5. If you live in a hot, dry climate

such as the Southwest US or my part of California in late summer, you can cut them in half, put them outdoors in the sun (I put a light towel or netting over them to keep the birds and bugs out) to dry them. It takes a few days in direct sun, and I bring them in at nights.

I have a kitchen counter that gets full sun in the early mornings: I've often put the tomatoes there so they get some extra drying before I can get them outside!
