How To Dehydrate Cherry Tomatoes

Welcome! Be sure to check out my playlists for more dehydrating videos!
🍅 This is my first time using my new Nesco FD-75A 600-Watt Food Dehydrator and I am super excited to see how it works. You are coming along on my adventure!
Dehydrating food is an essential part of food preservation. I’d like to consider myself a bit of an ‘urban’ prepper. I can, freeze, dehydrate and basically gather as much food as possible during the warm months of the year when it is plentiful, fresh and much cheaper. I try to grow my own herbs, fruit and vegetables ensuring I have organic ingredients to work with at all times. What I do not or cannot grow myself I will buy from family, friends and local fruit/veg stands. We only paid 50 cents a quart for these beautiful toms! 😍 I will also gather from abandoned fruit trees out in the country or if I see someone is not using their fruit from their trees (pears, peaches, apples, etc.), I will stop and ask if I may pilfer and the answer is almost always YES PLEASE DO!! See, it saves them the hassle of cleaning all up after it falls from their fruit trees when they have to mow their lawn and quite frankly the worse they can say is no. In my case I have found that they usually say yes and as a matter of fact I do not recall anyone ever refusing my shameless advances on their fruit trees. Free fruit is always a plus! We use it all up in the cold months, saving us trips to the store and lots of 💰!! Winter is coming... 😝 (My friends NEVER get tired of hearing me say this continuously throughout September & October)

I just got my dehydrator today.. same brand. Directions said to always use all four trays, even if empty. You haven’t had any problems narrowing them down to one? Thanks for helping us newbies out!

[@NocturnalButterfly]

Congratulations!!! No I haven’t had any issues at all. Thanks for watching! 💋💖🦋

[@v.j.morrison1784]

Nice video, thank you, quick question; how long do the dehydrated tomatoes stay good for?

[@NocturnalButterfly]

Thank you for watching! 😊 I believe it’s around 2 months in an airtight container/ziplock bag, or in the fridge/freezer for up to 9 months or you can also cover them in oil and store them that way. I hope that helps. 😉

[@TibbiScott]

just curious, what happens if you don't cut them in half?

[@NocturnalButterfly]

It will take a lot longer to dehydrate them whole 😉

[@jameswitte5167]

Cutting on stone ??? Poor knife blade...

[@NocturnalButterfly]

I know ☺️ I do prefer to use glass/stone boards so it’s a sacrifice I have to make 😖 Trust I only use my ‘cheapest’ knives when doing so 😉
