DEHYDRATING TOMATOES
My DH spent time over the summer and this past weekend helping out the good folks at Ironwood Farm here in Albuquerque. They were harvesting and gave my DH a ton of produce to take home. Since I had a full bag of paste tomatoes and knew we'd never eat them all I decided to dry them. It took a while to do this but it was worth it as we now have a huge jar of dried tomatoes which will probably last a very long time. You can salt the tomatoes if you want and add the herbs but I left them plain.

Steps:
- Slice your paste tomatoes 1/4 inch thick.
- Slice as many tomatoes as you need to fill the dehydrator.
- You will probably have to do this in more then one batch depending on the size of your dehydrator.
- I have a 5 drawer Excalibur Dehydrator that can hold around 35 tomatoes in one drying.
- Set the dehydrator to 110'F and dry for 15 hours.
- When done let them sit on a cookie sheet for a few hours.
- Use in all sorts of receipes of your choice.
- Put in a glass jar and store in a dark dry place.
- Bon Appetit!

MAKE YOUR OWN SUN-DRIED TOMATOES: OVEN, DEHYDRATOR, OR SUN
Found a great source for food preserving info at www.faqs.org, very pleased with my dried tomatoes! Paraphrased notes from the site: The best tomato to use for dehydrating is the Roma tomato because it contains less water and seeds. You can use any tomatoes but they may take a little longer to dry. All drying times below are approximate. It takes about 7-8 pounds of tomatoes to yield about a pint of dried tomatoes. Herbs are optional, you may prefer pain tomatoes for greater cooking versatility. After the tomatoes are dry, store in air-tight containers, or pack in oil.

Steps:
- TOMATO PREPARATION ALL METHODS.
- Cut out the stem and scar and the hard portion of core lying under it.
- Cut the tomatoes in half, lengthwise. If the tomato is more than about 2 inches long, cut it in quarters.
- Scrape out all of the seeds that you can without removing the pulp.
- Mix together thoroughly basil,oregano, thyme, and salt.
- Sprinkle a small amount of this mixture on each tomato.
- OVEN-DRYING (approximately 12 hours).
- Arrange the tomatoes, with the cut surface up, on non-stick cookie sheets (glass or porcelain dishes are OK.) Do not use aluminum foil or aluminum baking sheets as the acid in the tomato will react with the metal.
- Bake in 170°F oven for about 3 hours.
- Leave the oven door propped open about 3 inches to allow moisture to escape.
- After 3 hours, turn the tomatoes over and press flat with your hand or a spatula.
- Continue to dry, turning the tomatoes every few hours, and gently pressing flatter and flatter, until tomatoes are dry.
- DEHYDRATOR (approximately 8 hours):.
- Place the tomatoes, cut side up, directly onto the dehydrator trays.
- Set dehydrator temperature to about 140°F.
- After 4 or 5 hours, turn the tomatoes over and press flat with your hand or a spatula.
- After a few hours, turn the tomatoes again and flatten gently.
- Continue drying until done.
- SUN-DRYING (approximately 3 days):.
- Dry in hot weather, with relatively low humidity.
- Place tomatoes, cut side down, in shallow wood-framed trays with nylon netting for the bottom of the trays.
- Cover trays with protective netting or cheesecloth.
- Place in direct sun, raised from the ground.
- on blocks or anything else that allows air to circulate under the trays.
- Turn the tomatoes over after about 1 1/2 days, to expose the cut side to the sun.
- Place the trays in a sheltered spot after sundown, or if the weather turns bad.
- ADDITIONAL NOTES FOR ALL METHODS.
- No matter what method you choose, be aware that not all of the tomatoes will dry at the same rate. They do not all have the same amount of moisture, nor do they experience the same temperature and air circulation while they are drying.
- They are done when they are very dry, but still pliable. Texture is about that of a dried apricot. If dried too long, they become tough and leathery. If not dried long enough, they will mold and mildew, unless packed in oil. So watch them carefully while they dry. Try to remove them on an individual basis, before they become tough.

Steps:
- Prepare the tomatoes by washing, slicing in half and removing the pulp and seeds. These tomato halves should be the right thickness for dehydrating. If they look thinker than 1 - 2 cm slice them thinner.
- Spread out the tomato halves on the dehydrator trays if you are using a dehydrator or racks if you are using an oven.
- Assemble the dehydrator and set it running at a low or medium heat setting. If you are using an oven set the temperature to the lowest the oven will go and ensure you have the oven fan on and the door slightly ajar.
- Check the progress of the tomatoes after a few hours, rotate the racks if necessary. It will take around a minimum of 6 hours using a dehydrator and more if using an oven to dry the tomatoes.
- Remove tomatoes when they feel dry and leave any that need further drying longer.

- Once the tomatoes are 100% COMPLETELY dry, peel them off of the trays and place them in your blender or food processor. Blend the tomatoes for about 30 seconds, and then let the machine cool for about 30 seconds. Repeat until all the tomatoes are a fine powder.

13 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE DEHYDRATING FOOD
From urbansurvivalsite.com
Reviews 10Published 2015-08-11Estimated Reading Time 7 mins
- Start by learning your dehydrator and reading the instructions. Dehydrators can be split into three categories: bottom fan, top fan, and back fan. Most people would recommend a back fan dehydrator since it encourages even drying.
- If you don’t have a dehydrator, you can use your oven or air dry. Any leafy green–mint, lemon balm, sage, oregano, lettuce, or even carrot tops–can be air dried.
- Some vegetables should be blanched before you dehydrate them. It’s not required, but doing so will keep the colors brighter, help retain the vitamins, and make your dehydrated food taste fresher after you rehydrate it.
- Dehydrate only one family of foods at a time. If you are dehydrating tomatoes, you can also do hot peppers, but be aware that the tomatoes will end up being spicy.
- While drying in the same family of food, there are a few tricks to make sure the drying process is even. Always aim to have fruits and veggies sliced to the same thickness.
- You can dehydrate any fruit or vegetable, regardless of quality or ripeness. If something is too ripe and soft, you can always puree it and dry the puree.
- Fruit purees are an awesome way to store and eat overripe, funny shaped, or otherwise damaged fruits. Small apples are awesome turned into fruit leather, and overripe plums, peaches, and berries also work amazing in fruit leather.
- If you intend to dry hot peppers or onions, keep your dehydrator outside in a well-ventilated area. And be prepared to scrub the dehydrator trays with soap and water afterward.
- Berries, like blueberries or grapes, can be a challenge on the dehydrating front. They are small, but a contained unit. Most berries are small enough to be dried whole, but large grapes should be cut in half.
- Different foods will require different dehydration temperatures. Check your dehydrator thermostat and make sure it is accurate before beginning to dry meat or fish.
