Carol Dee, What you have done is wonderful. These look so good. I have never used dried tomatoes but will do this next year.

I can whole tomatoes, spaghetti and mexican sauce, and salsa and paste. I have none frozen. I have 5 dehydrators so I can do lots of tomatoes at one time. Thank you all for contributions here. I have benefitted greatly.

More in the dehydrator right now.

@Carlo Dee , you can 'test' to see if they are dry enough by turning the jar upside down for a day. Any condensation at all in the jar and they could use a bit longer in the dehydrator.

I dry cherry tomatoes cut into quarters - they're already the perfect size to add to stuff.

two more dehydrators full, all done and fit in 4 quart zip bags! So I now have about 7 quarts of dry tomatoes plus what is in the freezer. We should be set for winter.

I gleaned the garden the other day and decided to dehydrate the tomatillos and the rest of the peppers. They will sit for a day or so and then I'll vacuum seal into smaller bags.

Just realized I liked a 2 year old post, but that’s a lot of dehydrating.

nothing wrong with that! it's nice to know you've been read/heard even if it is some time later. plus it may spark an interesting conversation or make me aware of some other interesting thread from the past...

Yes, exactly right.

Carol, what did you do with your dehydrated tomatoes? I didn't get any done this year, it was an off year for tomatoes, but I have a few jars left from last year. We love them in salads in the winter. I cannot and will not eat a store bought tomato.
