I'm expecting a big harvest in my new polytunnel, we all love sundried tomatoes, is there any way i can do this myself? toms are just starting to ripen

I've seen it done by Jamie/Hugh/etc in a very low oven overnight. I don't think we can reliably get the sun you'd need to do it italian-style - having said that we're facing a hosepipe ban according to this morning's news!

thanks for the reply, would one neallly nice day inside my polytunnell be enough to dry ther"italian style"

have a look at this very recent topic http://chat.allotment-garden.org/index.php?topic=59350.msg693722#msg693722.

If you don't want them in oil, just make sure they are dry enough to store in a tin or jar before you take them out of the oven.

thanks mum, it seems like a lot of electricity in the oven so i'l just eat them fresh

It might be a bit steep on the old leccy bill , but its well worth it!
