Dried Onions

This is right up there with dried lemon peel - a must do for any food preserver.

Slice the onions and place them on your dehydrator sheets.

Dry for 8-10 hours, until crisp and transfer to a Ziploc or jar for storage.

4 huge 1lb. onions made a scant 2 cups dried.

I use them in everything.

Sprinkled into the pan before adding eggs for scrambled eggs,

added before re-heating canned soup,

to casseroles,

to brownies (Ok, not brownies! I was just checking to see if you were reading!).

Add them to ALMOST everything!

Note: I tried dicing some and they turned pink.

Yes! Pink!

Some chemical reaction?

Dried Yellow Tomatoes

This is a picture of 8 pounds of tomatoes.

Place tomatoes on a baking sheet and

roast at 325 degrees until softened, about 40 min.

Place roasted tomatoes on

a plastic wrap covered dehydrator sheet.

Dry tomatoes for 12 - 14 hours,
until tomatoes are crisp,
but still bendable.

8 pounds of tomatoes.

And again

8 pounds of tomatoes

in 1 quart Ziploc bag.
