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.

8 cups (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Slice your paste tomatoes 1/4 inch thick.
  2. 2
    Slice as many tomatoes as you need to fill the dehydrator.
  3. 3
    You will probably have to do this in more then one batch depending on the size of your dehydrator.
  4. 4
    I have a 5 drawer Excalibur Dehydrator that can hold around 35 tomatoes in one drying.
  5. 5
    Set the dehydrator to 110'F and dry for 15 hours.
  6. 6
    When done let them sit on a cookie sheet for a few hours.
  7. 7
    Use in all sorts of receipes of your choice.
  8. 8
    Put in a glass jar and store in a dark dry place.
  9. 9
    Bon Appetit!

YUM!!! I LOVE MY DE-HIGH-GREATER!!!! I did on a much smaller scale in my much smaller dehydrator...but same delish results... I can eat these like a P-I-PIGGY eating chips ...used my garden tomatoes and so so so good...I put some salt and hot pepper on some ...but Mr. free-free likes them plain so I stuck with that mostly to not be completely self absorbed as I often tend to be... thanks for sharing the instructions...my goal in life is to get a dehydrator like yours Chef Joey Z...[lol]

    I wasn't so energetic, but my co-worker was and she gave me a bagful - she didn't add any spices and yummy!!! Prices are right at this time of the year so I may just do my own big jar very soon.
