Sun dried tomatoes without the sun 🌞

I washed my smaller tomatoes in a baking soda/water/white vinegar solutions and patted them dry. Next I cut them into quarters, cutting any core at the stem site away. Then layered them, cut side up onto my dehydrator trays and sprinkled them with canning/pickling salt before putting them in the dehydrator. I dehydrated them at 165° for 8 hours. Last, after trying a couple, to be sure they were done how I wanted, I packed them in a canning jar and covered them completely with a good quality olive oil.

My family and I agreed, they taste no different than actual sun dried tomatoes 🍅 #sundriedtomato #tomato #deliciousfood #homemade #easyfoodideas
