- few weeks ago.
- .IH
- .IG "\(12 cup" "pure cream" "150 ml"

- .IG "1-2 Tbls" "rum" "15-30 ml"
- or your favourite liqueur
- .PH
- .SK 1
- Bring cream to a gentle boil. Remove from heat and add broken up chocolate.
- Stir until chocolate has completely melted. Be patient! Return to very gentle
- heat only if you have to.
- .SK 2
- Finally, add rum or liqueur and stir until combined. (Do not add liqueur while
- the chocolate mixture is over heat).
- .NX
- Use chopped fresh fruit to dip in fondue - especially bananas, rock melon,
- pineapple, pears, kiwi fruit, orange and mandarin segments and, of course,
- strawberries.
- .PP
- At a recent event, 9 people went through the fondue fairly quickly - but that
- was with everyone absolutely smothering the fruit in chocolate (you know -
- "oops I dropped it in" followed by a lot of swishing it around in the
- chocolate to get it out!) Under normal circumstances I would say 10 people
- would easily have enough to eat!

- .RH REC.FOOD.RECIPES-#174 TOMATOES-DRIED OV "27 Aug 91" 1991
- .RZ "DRIED TOMATOES"
- .KY PARTY DEHYDRATOR
- They are wonderful in salads, biscuits, omlets, deviled eggs, quiche and as a
- topping for fish or chicken dishes. They are also good straight from the jar
- as a snack. They have a very intense tomato flavor that perks up almost any
- dish. One quart of dried tomatoes represents about 1/8 of a bushel (or about
- \(14 of a paper grocery sack) of fresh tomatoes.
- .PP
- It is easy to make dried tomatoes in a food dehydrator. I use the \fIHarvest
- Maid FD1000\fR dehydrator. Harvest Maid has two popular expandable, circular
- dehydrators. The FD1000 is the larger model and it's trays are about
- .AB "15 inch" "40 cm"
- in diameter. The smaller model may be called the \fISnackMaster\fR and it's
- trays are
- .AB "10-12 inch" "25-30 cm"
- in diameter.
- .SH "Equipment and Supplies"
- .IG "" "Italian plum tomatoes"
- or tomatoes intended for making tomato paste. The plum tomatoes are
- cylindrical in shape. You want to use tomatoes that are \fBNOT\fR very juicy.
- .IG "" "salt"
- .IG "" "sharp knife"
- that can cut tomatoes cleanly.
- .IG "" "dehydrator"
- .PP
- It is better to have an outdoor electrical socket on covered porch so the
- dehydrator can be left outside. The dehydrator generates a fair amount of
- heat. Try to set it up outside or in a garage. Try to set the dehydrator
- somewhere that raccoons won't find it.
- .PH
- .SK 1
- Wash the tomatoes and try to drain off most of the water. Slice off the
- blossom end (optional, but recommended). If you have small plum tomatoes, you
- can cut them in half. Larger tomatoes need to be cut into thirds or quarters.
- You want to have slices that are no more than
- .AB "\(12 inch" "1 cm"
- thick.
- .SK 2
- Lay the sliced tomatoes on the dehydrator trays in a single layer. You can
- place the slices very close together, they shrink while they dry.
- .SK 3
- Sprinkle the tray of tomatoes with a small amount of salt. Sprinkle a few of
- them with a bit of pepper if you want variety.
- .SK 4
- Set up the dehydrator and set it between
- .TE 140-145 60-63 .
- If you use a temperature much below
- .TE 135 57
- the tomatoes won't dry (after 24 hours they will look like they sat on the
- counter overnight). If you use a temperature much over
- .TE 150 65
- the tomatoes will turn brown and develop a slightly overdone or burnt taste.
- I find that most tomatoes dry within 24 hours at
- .TE 140-145 60-63 ,
- but they do not get overdone even after 36-48 hours at this temperature.
- .SK 5
- The tomatoes are done drying when they are fairly hard and leathery. They
- should not feel sticky, even in the thickest spots. They should feel
- leathery, but not moist and not pulpy.
- .SK 6
- After 12 hours, check the tomatoes. If you're using a dehydrator don't bother
- checking before 12 hours since you don't want the dehydrator to cool down.
- Remove any tomatoes that are done. Consolidate the ones that need more drying
- and refill the dehydrator with more fresh sliced and salted tomatoes. Keep
- checking and refilling the dehydrator. I can dry about \(12 bushel of tomatoes
- by (re-)filling 4 trays in the FD1000 dehydrator 3-4 times. Ten trays hold
- about \(12 bushel of fresh tomatoes (with the extra trays set the heat to
- .TE 145-150 63-65
- and expect to wait 18-24 hours).
- .SH "Conditioning, Pasturizing and Storing"
- You should pack the tomatoes loosely into jars, plastic containers or ziplock
- bags for about 2 weeks. Shake the containers once or twice a day. This
- distributes the remaining moisture evenly between all the pieces.
- .PP
- After conditioning, the tomatoes should be pasturized to kill any insects eggs
- that were laid during drying. The easiest method is to place the dried
- tomatoes in the freezer for 2 weeks. You can also pasturize the tomatoes in
- the oven at about
- .TE 180 82 .
- This is apt to give the tomatoes a somewhat cooked taste. You must heat the
- tomatoes thoroughly.
- .PP
- If the fruit has been properly conditioned and pasturized you should be able
- to store it on the shelf, preferably in airtight containers. You may wish to
- store the tomatoes in a refrigerator as they have no preservatives. They
- should maintain their quality for at least a year, probably longer if stored
- cold. You may store them in the freezer if you wish. One of my books says
- that dried tomatoes stored at
- .TE 34 1
- will last up to a year and ones stored at
- .TE 0 -18
- will last up to 4 years. Anytime you want a reminder of summer, open the
- container of tomatoes and sniff.
- .PP
- Some people cover the dried tomatoes with olive oil. As the tomatoes mature,
- the olive oil gets an orange color and a delicate tomato flavor. You may add
- a spice to the tomatoes and oil, such as basil, oregano or garlic. You should
- drain off the oil before refreshing the tomatoes with hot water. The olive
- oil can be used for cooking or in marvelous salad dressings. As you use the
- oil, you should add more so that the tomatoes are always covered.
- .PP
- Some people refresh the tomatoes in hot water and then store them in olive
- oil. The tomatoes I make are fairly thin and probably should not be stored
- this way.
- .SH "Alternate Drying Methods"
- Tomatoes can be sun dried in areas with lots of sun and low humidity such as
- the South West United States. Cover them with cheesecloth to keep insects
- away. Be sure to pasturize the tomatoes.
- .PP
- You can also dry tomatoes in an oven. However most ovens will not maintain
- an even temperature below about
- .TE 170 77 .
- You may find that the tomatoes taste somewhat overdone and almost burnt.
- .SH "Refreshing the Tomatoes"
- The dried tomatoes should be refreshed by soaking them in hot water before you
- use them in most recipes. Bring
- .AB "1-2 cups" "110-125 ml"
- of hot water to a boil and add \(14 - \(12 cup of tomatoes. Let the tomatoes
- soak for several minutes; as few as 2 minutes if they are thin and as much as
- 8 minutes if they are fairly thick. After soaking you may wish to slice or
- chop the tomatoes. If your dinner recipe calls for water, use the water from
- soaking the tomatoes instead. Otherwise save the water and add it to your
- vegetable water for stock.
