I make them. I don’t ‘sundry’ them, as I live in a swamp. I use a dehydrator, and before that, an oven.
I dry almost all of my homegrown tomatoes and typically rely on local field tomatoes for canning. I’ll dehydrate them as they come in and toss the dehydrated tomatoes in the freezer for use later, or to make tomato paste for canning. To make tomato paste, I just blend the sun-dried tomatoes and add the required acidity before canning.
The tomatoes in this photo were long lost tomatoes from the depths of my freezer. I blended them and added them to the top of the rice.

Awesome stuff. I hope to have a better season for tomatoes next year, so I will potentially need to find new ways to preserve them.
