Drying Tomatoes

The tri-colored cherry tomatoes are coming on strong and I’m having a hard time giving them all away.

The batch today filled 6 trays on the dehydrator. I cut the tomatoes into halves or quarters to keep the sizes are fairly uniform so they dry with about the same time for all the trays.

Once dried they are cooled and placed in resealable freezer bags. A quick handful can be added to soups, stews and casseroles throughout the winter for added flavor.
