Thank you for showing us.

For the first time I'm going to do the same..I'm going to grind them into tomato powder and you use as thickener plus add a tomato flavor to my soups and stews..

I need to check and see if I could use them for sun dried tomato's and put them in olive oil.

I like dried tomatoes on salad in the winter, when you can't grow fresh tomatoes. I canned mine in half pint jars so once I break the seal, I can use them up.

I have put them on salads and I have ground into powder and add for flavoring. The Excalibur book has recipes. I am going to try the Dried Tomato Soup Base soon. If I like it then I will dehydrate more tomatoes soon. I should do this today.

THANK YOU so Much! Now I feel better about drying more and confident that I will find a way to use them.

I just kind of made things up. I put some dehydrated tomatoes, dehydrated squash, dehydrated peppers in some water and started cooking. Smelled really good and had a rich tomato red color and flavor. I cooked some hamburger meat and added seasoning, some dehydrated tomato powder, frozen corn, green beans and peas, and cut some potatoes up. It was really good, but decided not enough liquid, so added water, which watered it down, so added fresh tomatoes chopped in Vitamix and shredded a fresh squash. Everybody liked it. Had the soup and cornbread for supper. All the dehydrated stuff is from 2014, so 2 years old and still fresh. These are just kept in canning jars, nothing done but put a lid on and I open and close and use as needed. While looking for things to put in soup, I found 2 half gallon jars of shredded potatoes that was dehydrated in 2014 and we will be having those for breakfast. They smell just like they did when I put them in the jar and look the same.
