I have really been into dehydrating lately. Everything is pretty much an experiment at this point. One thing that was a success was tomato sauce leather.
I took a can of tomato sauce (obviously you could use homemade) and put it on my fruit leather tray of my dehydrator. I dehydrated it until it was no longer sticky on top. I peeled off the leather and cut it into strips and stored it in a jar.
Once it was dried I stored it in a glass jar in the cupboard.
To rehydrate:
Put 2 cups of water in a pot - simmer with the tomato leather pieces.
Use a whisk to stir the sauce:
We like to add seasonings and sausage:
The sauce was delicious and the leather worked out so well! I can't wait to experiment more. I actually learned a lot from Dehydrate 2 Store's You Tube videos.
At first I wondered why I would want to do this. . Then it dawned on me! I cook for one and large cans of sauce are too much for one sitting. Voila! A way to portion a large can into several servings SAFELY! Thx!!
