sun dried tomatoes? can I?

18 years ago

Hi Kids. I'm not sure if this if the correct forum to post this question, but I thought it might be worth a try.

Like many of you here, I have tons and tons of tomatoes from my garden. It's been a great growing season. My question is, how do you 'sun dry' them? I have been told that all you have to do is slice them, place them on a cookie sheet and place them in the sun to dry. Can I do the same thing in a food dehydrater? Once they are dry, how do you keep them?

Thanks, Kids. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You may find a lot more with a search.

Good luck.

You'll also find several discussions on doing them - both in the sun and with a dehydrator - over on the Harvest Forum. It is linked at the top of this forum's front page.

Thank you, John & Dave. Yes, after I posted my question I did a search on the subject and came up with lots of great ideas. It looks like the dehydrator is the way to go.

Thanks for your help. I love THS & GW. It's the one location that is always the most helpful. We still have at least 5 weeks left in our growing season and, if I can keep the blight at bay, I should have enough sauce/sun dried toms to last through the winter. ahaaaa... Enjoy those tomatoes!
