Easy Ways to Use Preserved Dried Tomatoes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is not the first year that I\u2019ve dried vegetables to preserve them, but I certainly did more of it this year than any previous year. There are many benefits to dehydrating vegetables for preserving, and once you\u2019re hooked you\u2019ll wonder why you never did more of it before (I know I certainly do!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the reasons that people don\u2019t do more dehydrating is a very simple one\u2014we don\u2019t know what to do with those vegetables once we\u2019ve got them dried<\/strong>. It\u2019s a question that I see and am asked quite often. And so, along with learning more about the actual drying process, I\u2019m always looking for ways to use dried produce. After all, if we don\u2019t use it, then what\u2019s the point?<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Using Dried and Dehydrated Tomatoes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a lot to take on how to use all types of dried vegetables in one article. It makes more sense to break it down into individual vegetables (and fruits, too). Actually\u2014and you\u2019ve probably heard this before\u2014tomatoes, the subject for today, are fruit. But we know we really all consider them vegetables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomato, tomaaato, fruit or veggie\u2014what can you do with dried tomatoes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might not think so, but dried tomatoes are one of the easiest dried vegetables (fruit) to use. Dehydrated tomatoes reconstitute easily, which is key in maximizing their use. The easier it is to bring your dried produce \u201cback to life,\u201d the easier you\u2019ll find it is for you to use them. It also helps that you don\u2019t actually need to reconstitute tomatoes in order to use them (but just in case, there are instructions for that below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
