Right now we have a lot of tomatoes from our. We’ve been eating plenty, and giving away quite a few too. This morning, I decided to dry a batch.

This is actually the second batch I’ve dried this season. I took the first ones with me camping and I can tell you they make great camping snacks.

This dehydrator, an upgrade from the one I’ve had for years for drying mushrooms, was given to me by one of my awesome neighbours across the street. I put the tomatoes in this morning, and now, about 14 hours later, maybe an eighth of the batch is ready. The rest will need to continue drying overnight and should be ready first thing in the morning.
