How To Make Sun Dried Tomatoes In Dehydrator || COOKING WITH BERTA JAY

This is the food dehydrator I used. I get no perks for recommending this dehydrator; I just wanted you to be able to get it if you wanted it. It has lasted me for years and still works wonderfully.

My objective for this channel is to share with others what I have learned over the last 30+ years about living and eating healthier. I share my knowledge with my small circle of friends all the time. I am not a doctor, nor do I hold any type of medical degree, but I believe that my tried experiences may help someone else.

For over 30 years I have used every diet imaginable to lose weight, but I confess that I am now at home using the vegan lifestyle. I want to share what I have learned about eating and enjoying food. And, since I am still learning how to be more consistent with this lifestyle, I have decided to eat more healthily, realizing the weight will come off eventually. Though I have not reached my goal weight, I know that sharing with other people in front of a camera with help me to stay on course.

I have, with the help of my husband of 37 years, raised 3 grown children. I will also share some cooking shortcuts as well as some natural formulas I have used and still use for everyday problems.

I was here 6 months ago and dehydrated everything I could get my hands on. Now, using those same veggies, I've made the most scrumptious vegetable soup with the deepest. loveliest flavor you can imagine! As I was making it, all I could think of was thank you Miss Berta! You are a gift!

So this lady is awesome. I’m dehydrating things for homemade camping meals I can rehydrate on trail. Was toying with a lemon sun dried tomatoe pasta and this method worked just great!

I was here today thinking about dehydrating my tomatoes from the garden. A friend and I went out thrifing and I came across two dehydrators. Yes I snatched them both up. Unfortunately the one with the fan would not heat. I was looking for videos on how to dehydrate the tomatoes and I came across yours. I sat down to watch it and I am so happy to have found you. Such a pleasant calm voice and thorough teaching along with finished product. You took all the stress out of attempting to use my dehydrators. I am going to contact the manufacturer of the one that isn't working to see if they can send me the part for it. I surely hope so . I did like and subscribe to your channel. I will be watching your other videos to glean from your store of wisdom and knowledge. I thank God for youtube and the preservation of the wisdom from the sages. God bless you beautiful lady!!!

I love the way you speak. Clear, concise to the point. It kept me engaged the whole time.

[bashhalow]

You are great. You are natural, intelligent, at ease, and straight to the point. You should have your own show.

[rogeryearwood]

What a gracious lady sharing her knowledge with the world.

A quick comment.... Slicing in half or wedges (not slices) with the juicy side up keeps more of the tomato flavor in the end product as it won't get lost and dried out on the rack or sheet.

Thankyou Bertha. After four years of hinting the family finally got a dehydrator for Dad's Christmas present. So I am off to utube to find ideas as well as already trying all sorts of small experiments. Driving the family nuts they say.

Berta, thanks for showing us a smart, healthy, alternative way to make your own sun dried tomatoes. We'll definitely be trying dehydrated Granny Smith apples in the fall. 😋

Tried this with a variety of tomatoes from the garden this past year and they turned out truly fantastic!

[Esther-kqnv]

Thank you for posting, Miss Berta. I came here looking for a video on how to dehydrate tomatoes, because I love them. Plus, I want to preserve foods when I can. I found your great video. I also found a used machine just like yours, which should arrive soon. I’m excited to get started! From a total rookie like me, thanks for your easy & helpful posting. I subscribed, as well.

I have 2 Excalibur and 2 Nesco. I really like both of them. (I love to preserve great deals on frozen veg and I have a big garden). One of each brand I got new and 2 I got used. I have not had mechanical issues with any of them. The Nescos are great because especially the Nesco Professional can stack up to 13 trays. These dried tomatoes keep quite awhile too! Thanks for sharing!!! Also or those whole can tomatoes, save the peels and make tomato powder. The little coffee grinders do an awesome job of powdering the dried peels!

[serenity]

You are brilliant Wow what a great idea! I just discarded celery leaves. I’m gonna rinse them off and dehydrate them! Now that’s smart cooking! Thank you🙌❤️

[robhunt-watts]

No nonsense, wise advice.
Thank you Berta, God Bless from England.

[davidmcgee]

Finally an explanation on how to do it and what it looks like.. Thank you

[maxrobinzak]

Thank you. You explained this perfectly . I have an abundance from my garden and didn't know what to do and found you Miss Berta thanks so much

[trubblesiriahrenn]

Thanks!!! Just right! Like listening to mom teaching again.. learned a lot. Especially how to cut the tomatoes. Seeing them flatten when dried. I think previously I was cutting a single tomatoe like you used into 5-6 slices.
What a blessing you are. Trubble

[juanitadafler]

I've dehydrated bananas, apples, peppers, mushrooms, potatoes but never tomatoes. Thanks for your video, tomatoes will be my next project! Thank you so much! Loved your video!

[melodyclark]

This is my first visit to your channel. I was gifted a bushel of tomatoes and after giving away to friends, was still not sure what to do with the rest. Your video was the first to come up in a search, and told me everything I needed to know. Thank you for sharing your expertise.

I already adore you and your realness!!! Thank you Lovely Lady
