Dehydrating Grape Tomatoes

in #lassecash4 years ago

We Got a Bunch of Grape Tomatoes

As part of the "Forgetten Harvest" boxes, we had more grape tomatoes than we knew what to do with. We knew if we didn't preserve them somehow, they would go bad and be wasted.

So we decided to dehydrate them!

We cut them in halves and laid them on the sheets to dry.

After about 10 hours in the dehydrator, they began to get wrinkly.

We left them in for another 10 hours and they became completely dry.

All collected together in a mason jar, they smell delicious. Very sweet. We're considering soaking them in olive oil to soften the skins, as they are very chewy.

Now, we have to find uses for our deyhdrated tomatoes. We could incorporate them into bread, or put them in salad dressings.

Do you have any other ideas on how to use dehydrated grape tomatoes?

I believe the Italians put salt on the halves during drying. They are quite expensive in my country netherlands.

Ohh, good idea! I bet they would taste great if salted!

Hello my friend! 😊

Have you thought of grinding them into powder to use in making sauces, pastes, etc...? That's what I'm planning to do with ours when they're ready to harvest, if we get an abundance. If not, I'll slice them up, dehydrate some and chop some for homemade salsa that'll get frozen until we need some for our tacos or nachos or whatever. 😊

God bless you and your wonderful family. Have an awesome day my fabulous friend! 😊

grinding them into powder

Excellent suggestion, we may try that someday! For now we just have half a mason jar full of grape tomatoes! Always appreciate your input!

Happy to help, it's nice to get different ideas on what to do with excess veggies. Any we have will get dehydrated and turned into powder to add to other dishes whenever we want an extra punch of flavour/nutrients here. 😊

Sounds like a very smart and assertive idea to use the food. How long do the tomatoes last in mason jars?

Keep them dry and sealed, they last a very long time, years.
