When I have extra tomatoes, I put them whole into the food processor,
along with fresh herbs, basil, thyme, oregano, and sometimes peppers .
I process them until they become liquid,
then pour the contents in fairly thin layers onto the fruit-leather sheets that come with my dehydrator .
When the tomato sheets are thoroughly dry,
I crumble them into flakes and put them in a jar .
These flakes are great in winter when you don't want to buy tasteless, grocery store tomatoes .
You can add the flakes to sandwiches, soups, and salads .
The flavor is fantastic, and the flakes are instantly available .
They also make a great gift because of their lovely color.
