Hi shroomgirl,
How about oven drying your tomatoes and then storing them in oil with your basil. Or make a big batch of tomato-basil sauce and can it. As for the basil, you can turn into pesto, a flavored oil or vinegar, put it into a decent cruet and make gift baskets for Christmas along with your tomato sauce.
