This is the time of year my garden turns into a jungle and produces more than we can eat. I feel like a millionaire and the Powerball isn't until tonight! Heirloom tomatoes, especially Cherokee Purple and Black Krim simply cannot be bought. They have a shelf life from perfect ripeness to way too mushy of just three days. No tomato has the flavor and texture and aroma that can replace the homegrown.
I am popular with the neighbors this time of yer and wen I have too many to give away I get the dryer out. Today I sliced and diced and cut up about 25 pounds of tomatoes, what it takes to fill the dryer.

Simply awesome Jerry. Enjoy your tomatoes, I wish I could join you there.
I'm going to try my hand at drying tomatoes this year, thanks to you. Also found out that ripe tomatoes can be put in a freezer bag and frozen if they are just going to be used for tomato sauce when thawed. Tomato soup would probably work with that also.
