This year we had a bumper crop of tomatoes, but the funny thing is, we didn’t plant them where they’re growing! We had several volunteer plants pop up in a garden we were letting rest for a year. It was the same garden where we usually plant tomatoes and I guess a few of the seeds hung around over the winter and decided that they liked us. So, late this summer I looked out the kitchen window and saw red all over a tall sunflower. I went outside to check it out, and sure enough, we had tomato vine all over my sunflower stalks! These tomatoes didn’t grow really big; most were no bigger than large marbles. There were cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes and roma tomatoes growing. My youngest son, who’s three, would go out side and eat them as a snack, he LOVES tomatoes.
Well, this fall, we went to a garage sale where we bought an older Excalibur Dehydrator for the exorbitant price of twenty-five cents. The only thing wrong with it was that the door was broken and you have to tape it closed for it to stay on. My husband asked me what I was going to do with it, as he really didn’t think that we needed it. I told him that I was going to dry all those volunteer tomatoes. One thing you have to know about me, I love a bargain and free stuff thrills be like nothing else. I just couldn’t see those free tomatoes go to waste! You see, there wasn’t enough of them to can as sauce, so drying them offered the perfect opportunity to preserve them for use over the winter. Once dried, they will be the perfect quick addition to soups, stews and chili. And, did I mention they were free?
So one afternoon, I gave each of the boys bags and told them to pick until there were enough of those tiny gems to fill up the five dehydrator trays. While the kids picked, I washed them, sliced them in half, and placed them on dehydrator trays. The kids made four trips after those tomatoes, just to get enough. My oldest usually bringing in a good sized bag of them and my youngest bringing back tomato seeds on his cheeks and lips. All in all, they had a good time out in the sunny, autumn day. So, now I have five trays of tomatoes drying and am happy with the knowledge that I was able to preserve a surprise gift from God for use when tomatoes aren’t so plentiful or free. Ain’t God Grand!
