I hope you don't mind but after reading the comments I thought I would post my uses for Tomato powder. I've done this for years! Tomato paste: Mix 2 parts powder to 1 part water to make as much or as little tomato paste as you need. Tomato sauce: Combine 1 part tomato powder to 6 parts water to make tomato sauce. To make the equivalent of a 15-oz can use 1/3 cup tomato powder and 2 cups of water. Tomato juice: Stir 2 tablespoons tomato powder into 8 ounces of cold water for a refreshing tomato juice. Instant tomato soup: Stir 2 tablespoons of tomato powder into 8 ounces of boiling water. Add a pinch of onion and/or garlic powder, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Pizza sauce Combine 1/2 cup tomato powder and 1 1/2 cups water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and stir in 1/2 teaspoon each of garlic powder, oregano, and basil, plus a pinch of salt. Add 1 tsp. of sugar to counter the acidity, and simmer until the sauce is thick.
WOW they say you're never to old to learn something new! I've canned in my younger years, pressure and water canning. Since watching Mrs H I've already learned new things but I've never heard of tomato powder! And now you added measurements...this all sounds delish! Thank you ❤️
I am 80 years old and was raised on a farm. ( !5 in our family) everyone had to help. I love watching your show, It brings back many memories. Some times I need to re- watch your programs because it has been many years without canning so I forget things. I worked for 45 years. I live alone now and can do what I like. Growing, Canning and Sewing. Housework is a punnishment.
Hello everyone. A quick heads up, in case anyone’s interested. I was just on Walmart website and they have Presto 23-quart pressure canners with pressure gauge for $100. They’re out of stock of the other ones without the pressure gauge. I know how hard they’re to come by so I figure I’d share. Good luck. Mrs. @HomesteadHeart this is an awesome idea thanks for sharing. PS. I hope that it is ok to share this info on here. If it's not ok please feel free to remove/delete. Thanks 🙏🏼♥️🍅
Thank you for the information I will check here where I live to see if walmart has this. I couldn't afford one still can't really but my freezer is full and I really want to can potatoes and anything else I can get my hands on
Ms Heart❤,I'm leaning so much from you.im going to go get me a dehydrator so that I can do me some seasoning. And i made some grape jelly, apple jelly, and strawberry Jam. I followed you step by step and they all came out wonderful. so good my grandson don't know which jelly to eat.then I will be ready for my pressure cooker,.I'm so excited!! I'm changing my name to City Homesteader with country roots.God Bless.from California.
Don’t do what I did lol I never noticed about the extra screen she has got my dehydrator put my veggies in and when done they were all stuck down to dehydrator tray lol get that extra part it’s sold separate or use parchment paper it will save you time and agrivation having to carefully pry veggies from tray
I use tomato powder all the time. I add it to spaghetti sauce, stew, soups, even if it is a tomato based sauce I still add tomato powder. It just gives everything a little more depth of flavor. I also use it as a seasoning and sprinkle it lightly on chicken breasts or burgers or what ever. I have some peels in my dehydrator right now, and a batch setting in the freezer waiting their turn lol. You explained this process very well. But you always teach us so much. You and Mr Heart are such a blessing to so many. God bless.
HH, I love your videos, but your comment section is also full of wisdom! I learn from your followers as well as your vids, thank you for sharing👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️❤️❤️ Now let me find that Excalibur before it’s sold out too!!!
@@dianesteinbrenner783 I found 3 sizes on shelves at Target( in Texas) only 8.95/9.95/ 10.95 a case i/2 pint/ pint/ quart sizes. a few weeks ago. mid November.
Tomato 🍅 powder out of your skins is BRILLIANT!!! I never thought of that! But I’ve never dehydrated anything before. When I think of all the bushels of tomato skins that I’ve composed since I was a little girl...I’m amazed at this! I’m already thinking of everything that I can use this for! I learned something new today...thank you sooo much Homestead Heart! Much Love, ❤️😍❤️
I've been doing this for years, and I still watched your video. :-) Well done! Haunt thrift shops and yard sales for a coffee grinder. If you get a coffee or spice grinder new,, helps to have the important bits stainless in case you grind up things like cardamom, etc. and not retain odor/flavor from other foods.
Amen! That's how I was raised and for the most part I stick to it. If I don't like something I always know people who do. So share and share alike. (?)
It's sad that you have to tell people your hands are clean, your counters are clean, dishes are clean. Some people act like you cooking for them. That's for your family. It's ok if the tomato skin fell on your counter.
I just dehydrated my first ever batch of fresh basil, used our coffee grinder and it was perfect! I never thought of the tomato SKINS! YAASSS! No waste! Thank you!!
I have so much Basil it's growing like crazy, I've dry it naturally now I am going save more. We have operated a veggie farm for18 year's. And raised children & grandchildren .
@@maggieyoung4753 that is wonderful!! I'm currently in an apartment so I'm getting my feet wet. When we move out to proper space I know I'll have booming growth! It's so soothing!
Now we're cookin with fish grease. I've never heard that one! I'm gonna use that! Thank you so much for all that you do. You are just such a blessing and you and Mr. H are such sweethearts much love to you💜💜💜💜
I was able to dehydrate my tomato skins on a tray in my oven at 180 degrees for 6 hours, then left them in my off oven overnight. They turned out perfect! But I do want that dehydrator
I use a ninja for powderizing my peppers, have never thought about tomato powder so I learned something today now I know exactly what to do with the rest of my tomatoes. Thanks for the informative video!
Mrs H, I use a sharpie and write on the jar, comes off easily when washing! Love your "down home" personality. Oh, BTW, if you have a " non fancy" ole blender, you could put the jar onto it and blend away! Small mouth jars only. I did it for sweet potato powder and was quite pleased! Works great and very fast.
Oh, Mrs. Heart! I love using my daughter's Excalibur dehudrator. I can't afford one like yours or hers, but I am absolutely thrilled about finding a brand new smaller Chefman 6 tray (13"×12") this week. A friend found it for me at a local store, Bargain Hunt. I never thought about or heard of dehydrated tomato skins. I have dehydrated tomatoes though. On my list!
I love my Chefman 6 tray. I put it on wish list on Amazon couple years aga. It was on flash sale for $69. I had been saving to get it & had enough to. Yahoo!
Mrs. H I never heard of doing this before.I am so thankful that I get to watch you when I can and learn how to save instead of seeing anything go to waste.I cam from a family of 14 we never wasted nothing waste not want not.So thank you for sharing this video.God bless you and your family.🙏🏻❤️
Never thought of this. One thing I learn with your channel is I feel like apart of your community were I don't with others. I love your channel when I have data of course. Thank you for giving me that feeling.
Hey. Thanks for sharing. You can use a little rubbing alcohol on a paper towel to take the writing off of the top of your jar lids. Works great and no scrubbing. I love your channel. Blessings to you and your family. Pam in South Carolina 🤗
I love this dehydrator. I had been looking for one for a while and saw this video and followed your link and got the 4 tier one. It works great, I have cranberries in it right now LOL.
I canned salsa today and the recipe called for removing the skins. I decided to dehydrate them. I wasn't sure why or what I would do with them but I knew I wanted to make tomato powder. Waste not want not. Got on here and found thus video. Thanks!
Wonderful and productive information, I’m becoming Omg a wonderful in my kitchen when it domes to canning and preserving foods. All because of you my sister/brother, 🐝 and stay farm and kitchen healthy.
Brilliant idea with clear instructions , just what I needed . Great to add extra flavour to all sorts of meals but more importantly , full of Lycopene , believed to protect against cancer and support heart health
Thank you for the demonstration! I have heard very good things about the Excalibur! Yes, I also agree with rinsing your fingers gooey!!You are a joy to share time with!❤
Thanks Homestead heart for the dehydrating the tomato skins to make tomato powder I never thought about that I have been composting my tomato skin not anymore thanks 😀👍
I have just found your channel and I love it! I had never thought of dehydrating tomato skins. After all the years I have canned tomatoes I feel like kicking myself, I am sure I have thrown away bushels of them. Well, this year I will be pulling out my Excaliber for tomato season. You are such an intelligent and charming lady. Thank you so much for the instruction.
Wow! I've never seen or heard of Tomato Powder, I was wondering how to use it, what a great way to add Tomato taste and thickness to Soups and Stew's, it could even work in Meatloaf! Thanks for showing us how to make this great Tomato Powder.
I think this is a wonderful idea and cheap too, compared to the dehydrated #10 cans of tomato powder I ordered online awhile back. You've taught me something I never thought about making. Thanks for sharing all your fantastic ideas with us. I'll definitely be making this as soon as I have enough tomatoes to get started, I have 2 dehydrators and they'll get put to use really well. Love your channel and personality little lady! 🍅
I was going to hit our local Goodwill a few weeks ago. I hadn't been there in years but thought I'd see if they had any canning jars. The whole store is gone! It's a used video game store now. Got home and looked online to see where there might be another one - there are none left in my state! I had no idea.
Has anyone tried several rounds of grinding baking soda and/or salt and/ dry rice to sanitize a used grinder? Prob each in succession plus some "soak" time of it just sitting in the grinder before the cleansing grind The lid I'd imagine would be good with a vinegar cleanse and then peroxide cleanse 🤷♀️ Anyone?
Sis, you need a Vitamix!! It's the best blender I've ever owned. You can even cook in it. ..I'm going to start doing this. Thanks for bringing this back to mind. *Note you also wanna boil or bake your eggs shells to keep the chickens from pecking the eggs.
Your videos are so informative and I learn sooooo much from them, but also you are soooooo funny when you lose things, find things, and bump into things! Hilarious!! 😃😃😃
I also have an Excalibur but mine is 25 yrs old and yes it still works great. Have never saw tomato skins processed like this but I’m definitely going to try it. Thank you
I don't have a dehydrator. I usually use my oven to dehydrate herbs and things and the lowest my oven temp is 200 degrees. I'm going to get some tomatoes and make this. Thanks for sharing Mrs. H!!
@14:45 etc. I love the way you look at the camera. lol Great video! Thank you so much for sharing it with us. :) God bless and keep you and your family.
I’m sooooo happy to see this, I just wish it was done last week, haha. I had peeled a whole lot of tomatoes from my little garden. I don’t like to waste either, so I put them in my compost pile. This is a great idea! So I will be doing this next. You are such an inspiration, and I love your joyful laughter. 🎶
I have 2 dehydrators, found each at resale shops like Goodwill. One has a temperature control the other is just on/off so takes more watching. I love dried corn for winter corn casserole. Have done lots of different veggies, even won prizes at our county fair's home department. Dried foods are so useful. I also dry a lot of herbs.
I just love you and watching the videos! I’m addicted. Makes me want to move to the country now. We have our land just waiting to retire! Can’t wait to do all these things. Thank you!
@@harmonyhomeandgarden I have the presto dehydrator. I purchased it at Walmart. I need to order an insert so smaller items do not fall thru the opening. I have been using parchment paper in the meantime.
I bought a blender off the internet this year: was really worried because it wasn't name brand and shipping took so long. However it has a motor on it that looks a little like a lawn mower engine and girls! let me tell you! It does everything! It's 1800 watts instead of the usual 600 watts, it makes the smoothest baby food, grinds coffee beans, chops eggs and veggies, I love it! No more ninja's for me! $100 on Amazon
Girl you rock. I made the tomato , mango. Pineapple. Salsa last nite. Did. Greens yesterday. I know you don't eat greens but i wanted to let you know i am canning food and trying to encourage my family to can. I am 75. and never canned before. I have a Presto 23 quart and a waterbath cooker. I don't have the magnet wand for the lids yet. I am very excited you are my big sister. Love you girl
I dehydrated some older can's of spaghetti and tomato sauces and turned them into powder, that was so great! we figured out how much sauce powder to use to rehydrate for making spaghetti sauce, about 1/4 cup makes 1 cup of sauce! we also have an Excalibur. Powdering the sauce was interesting, a little tricky, and it is sticky, but we powdered it! Yeap a coffee grinder used solely for making powders.
Do u have to clean each tray inbetween each batch? Or can u use parchment paper?thanks for u being u. And Mr H. U all are a joy to watch. I watch u for many hours and learn a lot. But being in a powerchair, its difficult to do a lot of things. And I know you are a GOD FEARING COUPLE,but I really need your prayers right now. I need a handi-cap vehicle. Not asking for your personal help, just your prayers.God knows all about it. The reason I'm putting it on your channel is, I know u have a lot of veiwers. So if every one watching u that's a beleiver, would pray for my situation.I would be for ever grateful. Its hard to get to places when u have to get on the road, sidewalks when available. Here in Calhoun Ga. Theres very little of them especially aroud where I 'm located. Sorry for all this on your channel. I know it is inappropiate. The prayers is what I'm after. Again SORRY. LOVES ALL AROUND!!!
You teach so much stuff its incredible what I learn from you. Thank you so, so much for your patience and time in sharing your knowledge with us. I appreciate it so much!! I tell many of my friends about you and your skills!!! Thanks again!!
Good information on what products to buy. I've used my oven and it does take a while but it worth not having to go out and buy paste that's been processed. Thank you!
I gave all my tomatoe skins to my chickens. They Loved em. Now I'm wishing I had of made powder out of them. Lol 😆 The eggs they gave me were very yummy 😋
Hey beautiful lady! I was ecstatic when I got 13 pints of spaghetti sauce and then I dehydrated all the skins and pulp left over and got 1 1/2 pints of tomato powder. My mama would’ve been proud not wasting anything! 🤣🤣

The skins can be baked slow w a touch of oil to make paste.
I have the same model. Have had it for a few years now and still love it.

Try the Goodwill for coffee grinder, about $2-$3.
I buy all my coffee grinders from the good will
Check before you buy. They can have coffee oils and it is hard to get clean and odor free.
But you never know what people have used it for previously :(

My tomatoes were a bust this year but am certainly going to try this next year. 💘 your channel and all of your great ideas, tips and tricks.
I heard your theme song running in my head all day in my garden
I just love you and watching the videos! I’m addicted. Makes me want to move to the country now. We have our land just waiting to retire! Can’t wait to do all these things. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this wonderful info! Next years skins will be going in the spice cabinet and not the compost.
I have dehydrated garlic and made garlic powder. Love it. Dehydrated frozen onions for onion powder.
Frances Crawford Which dehydrator do you own? I’m shopping for one now and want recommendations. Not sure if I want to spend so much on a Excalibur.
@@harmonyhomeandgarden I have the presto dehydrator. I purchased it at Walmart. I need to order an insert so smaller items do not fall thru the opening. I have been using parchment paper in the meantime.
Frances Crawford Thank you!
What a great idea!! This is my first year growing food. Must try this. Thank you for sharing!
I bought a blender off the internet this year: was really worried because it wasn't name brand and shipping took so long. However it has a motor on it that looks a little like a lawn mower engine and girls! let me tell you! It does everything! It's 1800 watts instead of the usual 600 watts, it makes the smoothest baby food, grinds coffee beans, chops eggs and veggies, I love it! No more ninja's for me! $100 on Amazon
Never knew this could be done, Thanks for sharing!
Girl you rock. I made the tomato , mango. Pineapple. Salsa last nite. Did. Greens yesterday. I know you don't eat greens but i wanted to let you know i am canning food and trying to encourage my family to can. I am 75. and never canned before. I have a Presto 23 quart and a waterbath cooker. I don't have the magnet wand for the lids yet. I am very excited you are my big sister. Love you girl
I do the whole tomatoes and I love them .Looks awesome.
Such a JOY watching you. Learned a lot from you. Blessing and FAVOR upon your land and your house.
Thank You for being you. What a pleasure to watch and LEARN from. May God Bless You.
I’m new to canning, and all this. I have learned so much from your channel! Your a wonderful teacher. Sending lots of love to you all! ❤️
Dehydrated my first tomatoes today. Thank you for teaching me this new skill.
I dehydrated some older can's of spaghetti and tomato sauces and turned them into powder, that was so great! we figured out how much sauce powder to use to rehydrate for making spaghetti sauce, about 1/4 cup makes 1 cup of sauce! we also have an Excalibur. Powdering the sauce was interesting, a little tricky, and it is sticky, but we powdered it! Yeap a coffee grinder used solely for making powders.
Hey! I've got the same exact watch as you Mrs H. 😉
Fantastic use of the skins. No more tomato skins in my compost. Thanks so much.
Do u have to clean each tray inbetween each batch? Or can u use parchment paper?thanks for u being u. And Mr H. U all are a joy to watch. I watch u for many hours and learn a lot. But being in a powerchair, its difficult to do a lot of things. And I know you are a GOD FEARING COUPLE,but I really need your prayers right now. I need a handi-cap vehicle. Not asking for your personal help, just your prayers.God knows all about it. The reason I'm putting it on your channel is, I know u have a lot of veiwers. So if every one watching u that's a beleiver, would pray for my situation.I would be for ever grateful. Its hard to get to places when u have to get on the road, sidewalks when available. Here in Calhoun Ga. Theres very little of them especially aroud where I 'm located. Sorry for all this on your channel. I know it is inappropiate. The prayers is what I'm after. Again SORRY. LOVES ALL AROUND!!!
You teach so much stuff its incredible what I learn from you. Thank you so, so much for your patience and time in sharing your knowledge with us. I appreciate it so much!! I tell many of my friends about you and your skills!!! Thanks again!!
You're such a good teacher!
Can't wait for my tomatoes this summer!
I just got a dehydrator for my birthday. Thanks for the information. I love learning from you.💯
You have such a delightful personality. Never thought of doing the skins; I'll have to give it a whirl.
Never thought about doing this. Thanks a bunch!
I’m learning so much from your videos.
Good information on what products to buy. I've used my oven and it does take a while but it worth not having to go out and buy paste that's been processed. Thank you!
You gone make a homesteader out of me yet 😅

This is excellent No Waste advice!
Hey beautiful lady! I was ecstatic when I got 13 pints of spaghetti sauce and then I dehydrated all the skins and pulp left over and got 1 1/2 pints of tomato powder. My mama would’ve been proud not wasting anything! 🤣🤣
Great tips, great video and thanks for sharing, God Bless!🤗❤
Thank you! I just love all you knowlege you share with us. 🙂
That is a wonderful idea! I never us a whole can of tomato paste and usually waste part of.
