Drying tomatoes

Tomatoes can be dried in the oven, sun or a dehydrator.  i use the dehydrator. Slice larger size tomatoes about a 1/4 of inch thick. When using cherry tomatoes you can dry them whole or slice in half. 

Place on dehydrator rack and allow to dry until leathery. 




For oven drying, line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and lay out tomatoes evenly, turn oven on lowest setting and let dry for 12-14 hours or until leathery. 

Place tomatoes in canning jar and cover with olive oil. Use in soups, salads and stews.
