Prepare Tomatoes

Wash tomatoes under cool running water.
Slice an "X" on the bottom of each tomato with a small
utility knife.
In a large saucepan bring water to a rolling boil.
Fill a large mixing bowl with ice cold water.
With a large spoon, place tomatoes in boiling water for 30 seconds
to loosen skin.
|
|
 |
 |
| Remove tomatoes after 30 seconds, place directly into
cold water to stop the cooking process. |
 |
 |
| Core the tomatoes by removing the stem with a paring
knife. |
| Peel away the skin, being careful not
to injure the flesh of the tomatoes. |
 |
|

 |
| Slice tomatoes into 1/2 inch slices. Place on cooling
racks in a baking pan to allow air to circulate around the tomatoes.
Season with salt and pepper if desired. Preheat oven to 120º-150º
F. Place racks of tomatoes in oven and leave oven door slightly open
to help moisture escape. Drying will take anywhere from 10-18 hours,
depending on air circulation. Store in air tight container at 52º
F or less for 6-9 months. If you plan to use the tomatoes for cooking
purposes, store in airtight containers and place in freezer for up
to one year. |
