In Ghana, at peak seasons of harvesting tomato, high postharvest loses are incurred because of the absence of industrial tomato processing facilities for value addition into other convenient forms to extend shelf-life. Solar drying is a more efficient and low cost method of enhancing the quality and adding value to tomato. This study was carried out to design a natural mixed mode solar dryer suitable for drying tomato and to investigate the quality characteristics of the dried products. Fresh tomatoes were pre-treated with: a) 1% potassium metabisulfite solution; b) 1 % ascorbic acid solution; and c) used untreated as control.

  • Preserving Tomatoes
    Reviewed March 2010 Tomatoes Pauline Williams, Family and Consumer Sciences Agent Charlotte Brennand, Food Preservation Specialist Did you know? ! Tomatoes must be from Italy, because pastas and tomato sauces go so well together — Right? Wrong! ! Researchers believe the tomato originated in South America, likely in the Andes Mountains. Over time, tomatoes worked north into Central America and eventually crossed the Atlantic to Europe. Spanish Explorers probably brought tomatoes to Spain in the early 1500s. ! Tomatoes were not introduced in Italy until the 18th century, and even then tomatoes were thought of as ornamental plants not food. ! The popularity of tomatoes, as a food, didn’t occur until the early to mid 1800s. ! Tomatoes that have been ripened before they are picked have the best flavor. Shipped tomatoes are often picked green and allowed to ripen off the vine. ! Unripe tomatoes can be ripened by placing them in a warm place not in direct sunlight. The cold temperatures of refrigerators will keep tomatoes from ripening. Only store ripened tomatoes in the refrigerator. ! One large tomato chopped equals about 1 cup. A bushel of tomatoes weighs 53 pounds. PRESERVING TOMATOES Tomatoes can be preserved by freezing, canning, or drying with good results. For best results peel tomatoes before preserving. Freezing Ripe tomatoes that are frozen are mushy when thawed but can be used in soups and casseroles. Puree and juice are better options. Cooked Puree. Wash, core, and cut tomatoes. Cook until soft. Press through food mill or sieve. Cool and pack into freeze jars or freezer boxes. You can concentrate the puree by boiling until amount is reduced in half.

  • Margarita Pizza
    FEATURED RECIPE Ingredients: For the Sauce: 1/3 cup olive oil 1 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes 3/4 tsp. salt 4 medium cloves of garlic, diced 5 cups canned crushed or puréed tomatoes Zest of one lemon For the Pizza: Whole wheat pizza crust Margarita Pizza // Serves 4 plus leftovers Another warm-weather favorite, I have been relishing in the summery flavors of this Fresh Mozzarella balls simple margarita pizza. The sauce recipe here is from one of my favorite natural foods Basil, cut into ribbons blogger, Heidi Swanson. Her take on the classic tomato sauce is spicy and bright because of the red pepper flakes and lemon zest. I tend to use crushed tomatoes as per Optional: her recipe, but if you prefer a smoother sauce, canned tomato sauce (without extra Fresh cherry tomatoes, flavors) will work just fine as well. Feel free to adjust the spice level to suit your halved preferences. For the crust, I like to purchase a ball of dough from my favorite local pizza shop, but you can also purchase your dough frozen from the grocery store, just be sure to allow time for the dough to thaw. Preheat oven to 425° F To make the sauce, combine the olive oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and garlic in a saucepan and heat over medium high. Sauté just until fragrant, about 45 seconds or so. Stir in the tomatoes and heat to a gentle simmer, about a minute or two. Stir in the lemon zest and taste – adjust salt as necessary. Stretch your fresh or thawed dough into a circular pizza shape and place on pizza stone or baking sheet.

  • Joan Palmer's Glorious Gazpacho
    Joan Palmer’s Glorious Gazpacho A refreshing cold summer soup 4 to 5 cups of tomato juice or thin tomato purée 3 tomatoes, chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced* 1 medium green pepper, chopped 1 teaspoon honey 1 cucumber, deseeded and chopped 1 onion, chopped 1/4 cup lemon juice 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley 1 teaspoon chopped tarragon olive oil salt & pepper to taste Wash and chop all the ingredients; small dice is best. Mix all ingredients in a beautiful pitcher and chill. Before serving, taste and then balance the sweet to acid by adding very small increments of honey or lemon juice. Drizzle with a little olive oil and add salt and pepper or additional herbs to taste. Serve garnished with parsley or edible flowers from the garden. *Let garlic stand for 10 minutes after chopping or mincing to bring out the medicinal qualities. Variations: Use the fresh vegetables or herbs you have on hand: shredded and chopped zucchini, for instance, instead of cucumber; basil or mint or dill or fennel tops or all parsley instead of tarragon if tarragon is hard to find. In the cooler months of no local tomatoes, make a hot tomato soup instead along the same lines using your canned tomato juice and purée or a tasty commercial brand, maybe adding some beans to go in the direction of minestrone. Remember: You can pay the farmer now or the doctor later because real food matters.
