The order of the day is slicing up tomatoes to put in the dehydrator. At KVG, dried tomatoes help the canned pasta sauce and salsas fill the winter lycopene void.
Though nothing beats a fresh tomato, dried tomatoes can add color and flavor to hummus, bagels, dressings, you name it. After the first 5-gallon bucket full, patterns emerge before your eyes...
But, we're not drying them all. For samosa night we found a great tomato chutney recipe online. I'm still on the loo
kout for a canning recipe (it seems like this one would be cannable without the addition of a lot of vinegar, since it's basically just tomatoes with some spices, but i'm not a confident enough canner yet to go ahead with that). Becks and Posh have a sweeter version for canning (okay, you got me, i didn't even read the recipe, but the photos were really nice), but I'd want to avoid white vinegar and sugar if possible. So the search is on, to be continued next tomato season.
