Hey, this is kind of fun. I've bagged three quarts of dried tomatoes now and two quarts of lemon cucumbers. Things certainly come out smaller than they start.
One thing I've learned is that when they suggest 1/4 inch slices, that doesn't mean "up to 1/4 inch." It means 1/4 inch or more. Sure, the thin stuff dries quickly but those little random tomato slivers are an absolute flaming *bitch* to get off the dryer shelves.
Looking forward to another dozen or so ripe tomatoes so I can try the roasting recipe. Thanks Snowy.
Yea, okay. I'm a chick.
