I normally freeze tomatoes whole. I’ve planted a roma tomato called ‘Fresh Salsa’ that is a determinate plant. It grows to a certain point and then stops. This guy delivers plenty of fruit and has a great flavor with a meatier tomato.
This year – I’m drying them. Spray your dehydrator with cooking spray and then slice your tomatoes 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Place them so they have some room for the air to flow. It can take anywhere from 12 to 48 hours for your tomatoes to dry depending on moisture level.

When they’re the consistency of a raisin – they’re ready! Put them in airtight containers and then toss in the freezer and you’ll have tomatoes all year for cooking! I like to throw them in salads too.
