Our dried tomatos

Nancy and Rob gave us their apples and we made apple sauce

Bette Goldfarb gave up a food dehydrator and I bought 20 # of tomato to dry.

We ended up with 4 mason jars and it took about 24 hours. This year Heather Brent gave me some seeds- Principe tomato -for drying. Last summer was a bad year for growing tomatos here in Los Osos because it was so foggy.
