Scroll all the way down. The best way to rehydrate sun dried tomatoes is with a half/half mix of acid (wine or vinegar) and water. I use red wine or red wine vinegar, but you could use white if you like. Cut the dried tomatoes into whatever size you like, then cover them with the acid/water mix and let them soak overnight - or longer. No problem if you forget about them for a couple of days. Drain off the liquid, pat them dry with paper towel and then pack them into jars along with sprigs of fresh herbs, garlic if you like, definitely a few capers. Cover with olive oil - I prefer olive oil as opposed to extra-virgin - it's less intense and thus won't interfere with the taste of the tomatoes. The oil will preserve the rehydrated tomatoes for ages. Everyone loves to find sun dried tomatoes on an antipasto plate.
