DIY Dehydrated Tomato Chips + Garlicky Tomato Sandwich Spread Recipe } The Purposeful Pantry

 Safely dry tomatoes and store them in olive oil at room temperature without canning. It&#39;s a great way to preserve tomatoes to use in any recipe calling for dried tomatoes.

How to Dry & Store Tomatoes In Olive Oil (at room temperature safely)

tomatoes

olive oil, (or enough needed to cover tomatoes)

Wash tomatoes, cut the top core off and cut them in half.

Line the tomato halves on a dehydrator tray, cut side up.

Dry at the manufacturer&#39;s recommended 135 degrees.* Check at about four hours and then do the first switch: turn them over and turn the trays around. None are usually dry yet, except maybe a few really small ones. Let dry for another 1-2 hours before checking again. At this point, there will be some dry tomatoes and you&#39;ll need to remove these (I set them in a bowl) and continue drying the rest.Your fully dried tomato halves should be dry and leathery with no moisture coming out from them when you push them with your fingers

Fill a small bowl with red wine vinegar and using tongs, dip the fully dried tomato halves into the vinegar. Let the vinegar drip for a minute before placing in a clean, quart jar until the jar is full to the shoulders. It&#39;s okay to press down on the tomatoes to remove air and fit more into the jar.

Once a jar is full to the shoulders, pour olive oil over the tomatoes until they are FULLY covered. For safety, the tomatoes should always be completely covered with oil, even when you start using them. *You will need quite a bit of oil, but you will be able to use the oil for salad dressings and cooking as you use up the tomatoes.

Continue drying tomatoes, dipping, and covering with oil until all your dried tomatoes are used up.

Store jars in a cool, dark place for up to a year (they are best within 6 months, because they darken with time, but still safe to eat and flavorful after that, just not as red).

Perfect way to use up the last Romas when I'm tired of making sauce! It seemed to take forever to get these dried though. Could I increase the heat to 145 for the first 4 hours to get the process going faster? My dehydrator only goes in degrees of 10 so it's either 135 or 145 so not much of a choice on heat.

We also have a lot of tomatos, happy to find a way to preserve them.  What kind of recipes should I be looking for to use them?
