How to Make Organic Sun-dried Tomatoes: Cheap Enough for the Whole Family

This video is about how to make sun-dried tomatoes cheap enough for the whole family. We got these tomatos form our garden and we got a lot of them! We're a gluten free family so we are always looking for cheap gluten free recipes. Tomatoes are naturally gluten free, but since tomato sauce is cheap to buy, we decided to do something special with our garden harvest. Instead of canning tomatoes, this year we tried dehydrating our sun-dried tomatoes and preserved them in olive oil instead. It was easier than we would have guessed and more delicious than we can describe. Enjoy!

Wash the tomatoes in the sink, then put them in a big container, and set up your tomato slicing station!

Cut the tomato in half and rub out the seeds with your hands, and cut the half into thirds

There two ways you can dry your tomatoes, you can dry them inside with a tabletop wind tunnel which is a box fan with a tablecloth draped over it. The most natural method is to dry them out side in the sun!!

We take all the seeds and scraps and filter it though a screen to get a nice tall glass of tomato juice!

Now you can go ahead and put some sun dried tomato on a bagel with cream cheese and you say that all the work was worth it.
