I had a bucket full of beautiful tiny Roma tomatoes. What to do with them? I have canned more tomatoes this year than ever. So I needed a new idea.

After reading where several other bloggers had dehydrated tomatoes, I decided to give it a try.

I sliced the tomatoes in half and lightly salted them. I even peppered one tray, which turned out amazing.
I placed them in the magic dehydrator, which I own but have never used! I left them drying over night.

It was like magic. A whole bucket of tomatoes now fits in one tiny jelly jar.

I can’t wait to dehydrate something else. What should I try next? Bananas? Apples? Any suggestions?

I think a dehydrator is going on my wish-list!
I dehydrate my homegrown herbs. You can’t believe how fragrant your own dried herbs are compared to store-bought. I store them in leaf form in a glass jar until I’m ready to use them. I powder them with a mortar and pestle when I am ready to use.
Thanks, I may give that a try.
That is quite a process. Enjoyed the entry. Plus, they look good!
Thank you! They were yummy!
I do carrots and celery when they’re cheap in the summer, to put into soups and recipes in the winter. Also, lots of tomatoes! I also do collards. They get like dried leaves, like you find laying in the yard, like paper. They can break into small pieces and I don’t care! Then I throw them into soups in the winter too. I eat meat, but not much at a time, for general health reasons, so I cram as many veggies into a soup or stew as I can. Now you’re in to the fun of dehydrating. Good luck finding other things to do!
Oh I should have added………..don’t try doing onions in the house, unless you want to spend all day crying, cos when their juices release into the air, it’s bad, lol!
