Drying tomatoes is simple.  Set your oven to the lowest setting.  Add your tomatoes, cored and cut in half.  If large tomatoes you will want to slice to 1/2 inch slices.  Put tomatoes in oven in a single layer and let them dry out for about 6 - 8 hours.  Oven should be set as low as possible.  Don't be discouraged if it takes awhile.  If its bedtime and not done?  That's ok.  turn oven off and leave in there.  By morning they should be dry.  If not, turn oven back on to lowest setting and continue drying process.

When making the pesto I would use less salt than I did.  It's ok to add the 2 teaspoons of salt IF you are going to use this pesto as flavor in tomato sauces.  If you are going to use the pesto straight from the jar over pasta then I would cut back on the salt to 1/2 - 1 teaspoon.
