To reconstitute:
To 1 cup of dried tomato powder, add the following:
for tomato paste - 1 3/4 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon sugar
for tomato sauce - 3 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon sugar
for tomato juice - 3 to 5 cups water or to desired thickness,
salt and pepper to taste
for tomato soup - 3/4 cup water, 1/2 cup dry milk and
season to taste
*Remember:
The flavor of dried tomatoes is more concentrated, so use sparingly in your
cooking.
Tomato Tip: When frost threatens your tomato crop, all isn't lost. Pick the
green tomatoes.
Choose large mature tomatoes that are in all stages of the ripening process
from pale green
to those showing hints of their red blush. Discard any with cracks, bruises
or other damage.
These won't keep. (Use in green tomato relish recipes!) Spread the green
tomatoes on
newspaper with the blossom end down. Cover the tomatoes with another layer
of newspaper.
For best results, these should be in a cool, but not cold area. (For best
flavor, never refrigerate
tomatoes!) Check every few days and remove those that have ripened. It's
easy to dry a tray of
tomatoes, as your tomatoes ripen. Often you can have fresh tomatoes for
several months as the
green ones slowly ripen.
