Subject: Re: [SimplifyMe] dee- sun drying and dehydrating tomatoes
I roast my tomatoes in the oven then put them in quart size zip lock bags and freeze them. Here is what I do: Wash and dry tomatoes. core and cut off stem end and other end. Cut tomato in half and place cut side down in baking pan or sided cookie tray. In bowl put in olive oil, minced garlic, and some dried spices like basil, thyme and or oregano. Drizzle over tomatoes. Place in 400 degree oven for 30 to 45 minutes depending on the size of tomatoes. Take from oven and let cool in pan. Slip off skins and place in blender with a couple of the tomatoes for a little juice. Blend until smooth and return to pan with tomatoes. You can slightly blend all the tomatoes if you wish, but I only blend some because I want some chunks of tomato. Now portion the tomato mixture into zip lock bags and freeze. If I don't have enough of my own tomatoes, I buy a 25 pound box of saucing tomatoes at my local organic farm. These bags of tomatoes last me all winter for use in sauces and dishes that would use canned tomatoes.
