I don't have a fruit/veggie dryer - I just learned how to "sun dry" my
tomatoes in the oven - these are great in any dish that 
calls for sun dried tomatoes. . .

"Sun-Dried" Tomatoes
 
Ripe tomatoes
Olive oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
[optional: granulated garlic, onion powder]

*	Take each tomato, core the stem area out
*	Cut each tomato in half crosswise
*	Take each tomato half in your hanf, cut side facing out, then give
it a quick 'squeeze' to force the seeds out, use your clean finger to get
all the seeds out
*	Place each 'seeded' tomato face up on a cookie sheet
*	Drizzle olive oil top of each tomato half
*	Season with salt & pepper
*	Bake in 200 degree oven 4-6 hours or until 'dry' to the touch
*	When cool, cut each tomato half in quarters & store in fridge or use
immediately
