Storing sun-dried tomatoes
 

I recently purchased a package of sun-dried tomatoes. In the supermarket,
they were stored in an air-tight package at room temperature. After opening
them, I refridgerated them in a zip-lock bag. Within a week, the tomatoes
smelled strongly of fermentation. Shouldn't dried tomatoes last longer than
a week? What's the best way to store them?

Thanks,
Adam

I don't think it's the wrong group at all. :o)

You may have had some trapped moisture in the package when you put them into
the fridge. That's why they probably fermented. Like the previous poster
stated...put them in olive oil and they will keep a long time.
