Homemade Sun Dried Tomato Recipe with Tips and Tricks making it. Sun-dried tomatoes are dehydrated tomatoes that lost most of the moisture after drying with sun ray.The tomatoes are usually springkled with salt before placed in the sun.Typically, tomatoes spend 2-6 days and cherry tomato need more in the sun in order for the sun-drying process to be complete, the thickness of the tomatoes slice is the responsibility with the process period . Cherry types of tomatoes will lose 88 % of their initial (fresh) weight, while larger tomatoes like plum tomato can lose up to 93% during the process. As a result, it takes anywhere from 16 kilos of fresh tomatoes to make a kilo of sun-dried tomatoes.
After the procedure, the dried tomato fruits retain their nutrition. The tomatoes are high in lycopene, antioxidants, and vitamin C, and low in sodium, fat, and calories. The flavour of tomato is concentrated and make some kick’in taste to the dish.Sun dried tomato can be made with oven in low heat or in fooddehydrator, but the result is similiar with the sun dried, but i think the sun dried version much more better due to oxidisation. The tomatoes can be blanched with steaming water or heated in oven before drying or applied with sulfur dioxide to denaturate the active enzim, this can retain the color and prevent it blakened. Even the blanced tomato is more appeallling, but the taste is not as tangy as the blakened unblanched tomatoes.
Homemade usn dried tomato recipe is quite flexibele, you can use sliced tomato to made it dried quickly rather than halved tomato, but don’t cut it too thin since it will crisped up during the drying process. The best texture of sun dried tomatoes is as pliable as dried dates. Commonly, the large tomato is cut into 3 cm thick and the cherry tomato is cut in half. You can peel the tomato first before drying with simply put it into boiling water for maximally1 and plung it onto ice water and then peel the skin off carefully, But i did’t recomended this since it can lose not only the water content but also the nutritional content. Put the skin side in the bottom side of the rack, dont flip it since the liquid can easily dripped off, if you want the flavour concentrate even more, let it drain slowly from the cut side.

Ito, saya mau bikin tomato concasse yg biasa dipakai utk pasta spageti itu,gimana caranya? Ada resep ito?
tomato concase itu sbenernya gampang bgt sih to,
tomatnya disayat tipis kulitnya, trus cemplungin air mendidih bentar aja(3o detik)
trus lgs dicemplungin ke air es, klo kulitnya dah nyiut, tinggal di kupas aja kulitnya
diblender n dimasak brg garlic sama onion dll, ditumis bentar
trus bs dikasih dry wine atau air trus dimasak pake api kecil sampe kental
jadi deh
baiklah ito, mauliate godang. akan kucoba resep ini.
Now i know what to do if I have some leftover tomatoes 🙂
I roast tomatoes for hours in the oven, and love them, but never really sun dried them. The blanching info is very interesting! Now I understand why the different colors.
