How to make sun-dried tomatoes: Cheap enough for the whole family

[@sunitadwarka347]

I have one suggestion, you add salt to tomoto before drying, when you will add salt, lots of juice will come out, keep it 5 to 12 hours you pass it through filter, drain the water and let it dry the process will become easier and smooth. In India we make lots of sundried pickle, we add salt and turmeric and remove juice from fruits. After two days, we put spices. Please visit Arabic site how to sundry the tomato. They also add salt. Namh shivay.

This is really cool, seems like a great way to preserve the vitamins and flavor for the winter.

Tunnel drying a plus point...thank you so much.

[@glutenfreefamily3115]

Glad to help. The fan made all the difference for us.

Dennis M thanks!

[@BaghdadiMoh]

that's was very nice video, explain everything in details. I like it. keep on.

[@glutenfreefamily3115]

Yes, we've tried the car method too but our sunlight is more limited where we live so the drying time was more than one day. Ventilation to let the moisture escape without letting bugs into the car was a challenge for us. Also, because our climate requires an overnight dry cycle, the cooler evening temps without proper ventilation made some of the tomatoes start to go rancid instead of drying nicely. Would love to be able to dry a carload of tomatoes in one day! Great suggestion for climates that have longer, hotter days. Congrats on finding a cheap method that works for you and surely many others!

Great reply

This is a good straight to the point video. You guys are amazing and you seem to have a good family! Good luck ❤

[@Obliv69]

if you cut them into quarters and trim off the little bit of white in the middle, you can dry them out skin down, so all the flavour in the juice is drying into the flesh of the tomato. it takes a little longer, but they have a lot more flavour.

[@glutenfreefamily3115]

Interesting - thanks!

[@sandravalani359]

Thanks for sharinG your d'lightful tomatoe preservation techniques!!!!

[@smb123211]

FYI - Tomatoes dry much better when they are not touching each other and the quickest way is the car. We have trays of tomatoes in the car constantly and it usually takes only a day in our weather. I also leave some of the "jelly" inside the pieces for flavor and salt heavily. Store with basil, rosemary and olive oil.

[@courtneymercier5841]

does your car smell bad after?

I really like your idea of the fan. It so easy why didn't I think of that. Even tho I have a dehydrating machine I think this would help the process. Tks

That's Alot of tomatoes. Thanks for this video. I will try it

[@Stanly450]

Yummy

[@jaynebachoo1781]

I did wonder about what happened to them at night . I certainly didn't think about the fan though. My first time drying tomatoes and the sun decides not to show up so I put them in the oven as I've seen on KZbin but I believe that defeats the purpose of the sun...sun dried....lol. I hope it comes out like it's supposed to...wish me luck!

[@glutenfreefamily3115]

The airflow helps a lot. If there’s a rainy day I just keep them under the fan. Let me know how it goes, if you have any other questions let me know.

[@holanicolette]

You finally answered my concern! I was wondering what do you do with them at night, do you just leave them out there in the cold. Thank you

[@sweetboo1022]

Its 100 degrees here, betcha mine dry in a day. LOL. Great video.

[@speaklanguageswithcleliabe4764]

Nice!

[@nalini815]

V nice video

[@diannehadorn8660]

When you store them in olive oil... do you just fill the jar, remove air bubbles and put on a lid? Or is there a step to seal them for storing? How long will they store in oil? I assume they just go on a shelf or do they need refrigerated? Wonderful video - trying to learn how to do this myself - thanks

[@glutenfreefamily3115]

We’ve just stored them in the olive oil, we’ve never refrigerated them, I haven’t had any problem storing them for at least a year, there are usually eaten up by then though. They are definitely a favorite. A bagel and cream cheese is one of our favorites.

[@mrsseasea]

thank you

[@glutenfreefamily3115]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@nadianoorzad7846]

Sweet voice! 👌🏼👏🏼🙏

[@saframohinudeen4329]

thank you😊

[@acorn1744]

I have few questions regarding how to store them. Do you CAN them? like put hot oil uptil top and close lid so they can pop and air seal? Do you have any preservatives? salt, garlic, mustard seeds, citric acid are kind of natural preservatives. Why store bought are air sealed and full of artificial preservatives like nitrites and sulfitees?

[@wdeer5354]

Can we use any type of tomatoes, besides Roma tomatoes? I’m growing Cherokee, Amish and cherry. Thanks for the information.

[@glutenfreefamily3115]

I’ve used many different types of tomatoes and they all work. Roma have less water in them so there’s no doubt they’re easier.

[@mrsseasea]

do you or can you reuse the oil?

[@glutenfreefamily3115]

Yes, we just use it like you would a normal olive oil. It has some of the sun-dried tomato flavor, which I think is wonderful.

[@tjsna5]

So are you saying you completely submerge the dried tomatoes in olive oil ?

[@The_Joker_]

I’d murder a baget cream cheese and sun dried tomato right now 😮

[@acorn1744]

Can you reuse Olive oil from one batch to next year's batch? Olive oil is kind of expensive!

[@nihalcassim6447]

use sunflower oil...cheaper and has a fuller flavor.

[@louisefitzgerald4400]

How long can you store these ?

[@glutenfreefamily3115]

I’ve got a couple years no problem. Usually people are eat them up pretty quick though.
