I wash them fresh from the garden, dry them and toss them into the blender. This tomato "sauce" dehydrates so much faster. Then I toss the tomato "leather" into the dry blender to make the powder. It takes less time (minus the dehydrator time) than going to the store and buying a can and driving back home. Thank you for your ratios. I live in Lancaster County PA and have buggies drive past my 1000 square foot garden every day.

No skinning and peeling--just slicing.<br />the lids can be reused and even lids from canned jars can be used for sealing dried foods.<br />Space is such an issue. I got 15 dried tomatoes in a quart and a pint jar today.<br />Want to haul a case of canned tomatoes vs. a case of dried tomatoes??<br />When using a portion of dried tomatoes, I can reseal the jar and not have to refrigerate like with opening canned tomatoes.<br />And the clean up is easier. No bowls where tomatoes were peeled.<br />Not emptying the water bath is a plus.<br />I can dry on the covered back porch and not heat the kitchen.<br />Throw the trays and mesh trays in the tub and soak--clean up done.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-55396206282543028782014-07-22T08:32:49.881-04:002014-07-22T08:32:49.881-04:00Dehydrated tomato powder is the only thing I use i...Dehydrated tomato powder is the only thing I use in cooking. We have hundreds of tomatoes from the raised garden beds. Due to health issues, canning is out of the question, but dehydrating is not. We prefer the taste of fresh tomatoes preserved with natural elements. When making skillet pasta with ground beef, I use beef broth instead of water.

Like you I'm tired of canning and my shelves are full so I'm going to do this with the last of the tomatoes I had to harvest prior to frost earlier this week. They're still half green but when there are enough ready at a time I'll fill dehydrator trays.<br /><br />When you say your dehydrator full of tomatoes made over a pint of powder, how many trays did you fill?

I have enjoyed poking around on your posts. May I just compliment you on what a gracious woman and mother you seem to be. I appreciate what I have read so far. I struggled to adjust to motherhood, even though that is what I dreamed of doing my whole life. I worried about academics, not homemaking, all through school, so I am playing "catch up" on practical skills. However, while it took 5 years for me, I am finding joy in motherhood. Also, I am finding ways to adjust my attitude to enjoy my service in this regard. Your sweet blog is a blessing to me as I make these efforts. Thank you. I look forward to learning and reading more now that I found your site.

I do this with the last of my peppers though. I dehydrate them, grind them up and use them as a seasoning on just about everything. I use green and hot together, just whatever is left in the garden. I actually went up yesterday and gathered the last of them because we are looking for frost this weekend.
