I got myself a nice American Harvest Dehydrator on the US Amazon (even with shipping, you save like 2000 yen over the Japanese Amazon.) and I dried a bunch of tomatoes, kakis, apples, herbs, etc.<br />Hugo Deslippehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08061029107341491226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6313481912191494802.post-52866465733043216392012-11-26T23:56:58.071+09:002012-11-26T23:56:58.071+09:00Tomatoes like dark places to ripen.

You can also put them on a table and cover them with newspaper. Not so sure about the plastic bag, I think they need to breathe. Let me know if those work out for you. Otherwise, I would make tomato pickles or green tomato relish.Sunny Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01896772669898047917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6313481912191494802.post-31169138246554078162012-11-20T10:32:14.137+09:002012-11-20T10:32:14.137+09:00They are San Marzano paste tomatoes that didn'...They are San Marzano paste tomatoes that didn't have a chance to ripen. Usually I would use them for spaghetti sauce, if they were ripe. <br /><br />Since the post, I put a bunch in a plastic bag with a potato (for the ethelyne gas) and another bunch in a basket and set them in a warm place to ripen. The rest are in a net bag in the cool hallway closet. I am hoping the ones with the potato will ripen in about a week, the basket in two, and then I can just keep on cycling the other green ones through and have tomatoes for another month or two. Will it work? Only time will tell.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09922443670070426795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6313481912191494802.post-59226509852467311722012-11-20T01:46:14.912+09:002012-11-20T01:46:14.912+09:00Um.
