Chewy sun-dried tomatoes
I've always bought sun-dried tomatoes in oil, but about a month ago, I bought a little container of them, and they're not packed in anything. They're awfully chewy and leathery. Do I just chop them up very fine anytime I want to use them? Or can I do something to them that makes them easier to eat? Boil them? Put them in a jar with some oil? I bought them wanting to make great mayonnaise-cucumber-tomato-salt-and-pepper sandwiches, but it's weird to have to gnaw at one of the ingredients in my sandwich. I'll do it if I have to, but ... do I have to? Thanks everyone!

I don't think I want to make pesto or mayo out of them - I want to eat them as they are. But I'll definitely bottle half of them in oil and see whether they soften up. The other half will get the warm water treatment as needed. Thanks very much!
