Hi, thank you for the informative video! Just wondered what type of chili pepper you use for spicy heat? Asking this because I’m growing more than 10 different varieties.
Capers are a small pickled item you can get in any supermarket or delicatessen. I think they are a pickled seed and are used in many ways but in my experience they are mostly used in salads, dressing and sauces. They come in small jars either in brine, oil or vinegar.
@@Kristenm28 I bet they’re delicious! Do you buy the raw ingredients or grow the flowers yourself? Asking because I love pickling and have never made capers!
Hi Angie, sorry for my delayed reply and thank you for watching my video. I would suggest to making sure that the tomatoes are, all well dried, as I show in the video 😊
From many, many teaching videos, MUST be completely DRY before you place tomatoes in jar. It may take 5 - 10 days in the sun 🌞 It all depends on your overall weather, the size, thickness of your tomatoes, etc. I've seen some videos where the person cuts the tomatoes in half, and the weather (heat) there was very, very hot & dry. Like semi-desert.
Hi Mulata, To avoid botulism you need to sterilize well the jars and the tops as is shown in the video, in addition, we use white vinegar which is citric acid, which reduces the sprout of possible bacteria. Also, make sure that there are no air bubbles in the jars. It is difficult to guarantee 100% with homemade products, however, we never experienced botulism in all these years :)
@loveheritagefood9979 100°C will not kill botulinum spores, which are more likely to be present on the garlic and parsley, which could also be treated with white vinegar (acetic, not citric acid). Storing at below 4°C will also prevent botulism.
Hi Emelia, thank you for watching my video. You can definately use it in salads and sometimes there are used as an addition for sauces, however, I wouldn't use it to make a tomato sauce. 😊
Is that red-chili a dried one Or fresh one? Also after keeping this in the pantry for one month, can we them refrigerate them Or you don't refrigerate it at all?
Hi Jiraporn, There are the small and the big capers, we use the small capers because are more delicate in flavour; if you can't find capers in your area, don't worry you can make the recipe with no capers. You could bake the tomatoes instead of sun dry, however, I am not sure about the final result and flavour, I've personally never done it! :)
@@michelemastrototaro5419 Salve Michele, Utilizzando l'aceto di vino Bianco andiamo ad acidificare il prodotto sfavorendo la germinazione delle spore e inoltre bisogna sempre assicirarsi che non ci siano bolle d'aria.

If you seal the jar properly it can last years. Another option is to freeze the dried tomatoes. That could last months as well. We use tomatoes all year but my favorite are the sun dried tomatoes. I can’t wait to get started. ☺️
Thanks for this. How we can reduce the effect of the salt after tomato 🍅get dried,? After completing process. How many days we need to wait before consuming?
Hi Tony, first of all thank you for watching my video. It's difficult to say, it never happened to me in all these years, it depends on the tomatoes quality, the procedure followed and how you preserve them.
@@loveheritagefood9979 thanks for your reply. I did put some extra salt on after 2 days we live in southern Spain and the sun is still quite warm. I will try again.

Hello from Love Heritage Food! Thank you for watching my video. The plant is called caper bush and is used as a seasoning. Peter is right, it's a small pickled and you can find it in any supermarket or delicatessen. Do you have any other question? :)
@@loveheritagefood9979 Capers are a pickled flower bud. If you pickle nasturtium seeds when they are still green they can be used as a substitute for capers.
Hi TK, thank you for watching my video, unfortunately you would need the natural heat from the sun to dry the tomatoes... Otherwise you can buy dried tomatoes and follow the my instructions for the seasoning 😊

There really isn’t a replacement. Maybe if you chopped up the small gherkins you can buy at a delicatessens. Where about do you live?
I have just looked on both eBay and Amazon and they are readily available on both sites.
They are brined flower buds, and I make my own.
@@Kristenm28 I bet they’re delicious! Do you buy the raw ingredients or grow the flowers yourself? Asking because I love pickling and have never made capers!
How long we can store it in fridge?
Hey ! Why do we need to soak them in the vinegar ? Great video really helpful
To remove the salt.
I made them some moisture still in some tomatoes is it ok as long as they are stored in the fridge??
Great video!!

When bringing them in for the night do we place then in the refrigerator?
No you don't
Do you have to keep in the refrigerator. Thank you
Does this have to be sealed by placing jars in hot water bath. Or do you just refrigerate them.
Hi Carrie, you don't refrigerate them, you keep the jars in the pantry :)
How to keep them from mould when in the sun?
Can we save left over vinegar for cooking, sounds practical to me? 🌻
Hi Argyle,
I guess you can, I'd advise filtering the vinegar first, to remove the seeds of the tomatoes :)
Raw Garlic and olive oil is a recipe for botulism. How do we solve that ?
Hi Mulata,
To avoid botulism you need to sterilize well the jars and the tops as is shown in the video, in addition, we use white vinegar which is citric acid, which reduces the sprout of possible bacteria. Also, make sure that there are no air bubbles in the jars.

@loveheritagefood9979 I saw someone put hot oil over tomatoes in the jar. Have you tried that, what do you think of that?
@loveheritagefood9979 100°C will not kill botulinum spores, which are more likely to be present on the garlic and parsley, which could also be treated with white vinegar (acetic, not citric acid). Storing at below 4°C will also prevent botulism.
How do you eat those
Hello.Great vídeo.Can these be used like fresh tomatoes, in sauces and salads?
Hi Emelia, thank you for watching my video. You can definately use it in salads and sometimes there are used as an addition for sauces, however, I wouldn't use it to make a tomato sauce. 😊
Is that red-chili a dried one Or fresh one? Also after keeping this in the pantry for one month, can we them refrigerate them Or you don't refrigerate it at all?
Thank you for watching my video 😊 it's a dried red chilli and we don't refrigerate them 😊
Question does it have to be in direct sunlight? Or just outside for the heat?
Hi there, thank you for watching my video. Outside for the heat 🤗
How to store them?
Hello, what kind of cappers do you use? Also, can I bake it instead of sun dry? It looks great, I will try to make it tomorrow. Thank you.

Only have regular white vinegar. Not diluted.
Thank you for watching my video.. White vinegar is fine
Ma la pastorizzazione del vasetto dopo il riempimento? Cosi si rischia il botulino!
Salve Michele,
per evitare il botulino, deve sterilizzare bene i vasetti e tappi come mostriamo nel video :)
E il batterio sul prodotto?
@@michelemastrototaro5419
Salve Michele,
Utilizzando l'aceto di vino Bianco andiamo ad acidificare il prodotto sfavorendo la germinazione delle spore e inoltre bisogna sempre assicirarsi che non ci siano bolle d'aria.
Certo con i prodotti fatti in casa non si puo' garantire al 100%, pero' noi in tutti questi anni non abbiamo mai riscontrato questo problema.

Do you have to wait a complete month before serving, or can I have them earlier?🍅
Hi Jose, thank you for watching my video! We advise to wait one month for a better flavor, however, you can also have them a little earlier 😊
how do keep flies and bugs off them when they are outside?
Hi Cindy,
you can put a small-meshed net on top of the tomatoes :)
Approximately how long is the shelf life
If you seal the jar properly it can last years. Another option is to freeze the dried tomatoes. That could last months as well. We use tomatoes all year but my favorite are the sun dried tomatoes. I can’t wait to get started. ☺️
Hi Mark, approximately one year :)
Do they stay outside even in the night?
Hi there,
No, you take it back in the house 😊
Thanks for this. How we can reduce the effect of the salt after tomato 🍅get dried,? After completing process. How many days we need to wait before consuming?
@2:30 salt effect reduction after drying.
Hi Mohammad,
You can consume it after one month :)
Both questions are answered in the video.....
After 4 days 2 tomatoes had mould on them. I have done them before with no problem. Any ideas 😬

안녕하세요 왜 소금을 올려 건조할까요 식초로 다시 소금을 제거해서 궁금해요
Hi there, we use the salt to avoid moisture, it's a protection. In addition it helps the drying process getting rid of the liquids.
@@loveheritagefood9979 네 그렇군요! 답변 감사합니다:) 한가지 더 궁금증이..! 식초+물 이용해 삶아서 만들었는데 이 방법도 괜찮나요
can i dry the tomatoes in my bedroom?.. too much car pollution in my balcony...

Music is too loud can't hear her voice, but great video.
Vinegar 9%?
Hi Eileen,
We used the 6%, it's up to your taste 😊
@@loveheritagefood9979 👍
Ever worry about botulism?
Been doing this for generations. Not a problem if done right with clean equipment.
@@mik20241 thank you for responding!
I think the vinegar would take care of that
