Dehydrator: Tomato Powder<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You can dry whole tomatoes, or even make tomato powder from just the skins leftover after peeling tomatoes used in another application.<\/p>\n
Any tomato variety is fine. Fresh, non mealy tomatoes are best for flavor and drying speed. For whole tomatoes, slice into a uniform thickness. Place them in a single thickness on dehydrator trays, using non stick sheets. Place the bottom of the tomatoes skin side down so it dries well. Dry the tomatoes at 155 degrees. Once partially dry, and no longer goopy, remove the non-stick sheets for faster drying. Dry until no moisture remains. They should go past the flexible sun dried tomato stage. Store tomatoes in a freezer bag and pop into the freezer for a week. This will kill off any bug eggs that might be hiding in the tomatoes. While still frozen, process in blender until it becomes a fine powder. Store in air tight container, such as a vacuum sealed mason jar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
