Making your own Tomato Sauce (from dried Tomato Powder)

Posted on 14:12 by Unknown
Last year I posted about my new discovery about making dried tomato powder from blending up tomatoes and dehydrating. This is one of my best gardening secrets that I wish I would have known about seven years ago, when we started gardening. It makes preserving your harvest so much easier!

Today I'm going to share the recipe for using this tomato powder in place of an 8-oz. can of tomato sauce. It's really easy and I'm thrilled that I no longer have to buy cans of tomato sauce - I can just use this sauce that I make from my own tomatoes. There is a slight change in taste from the canned variety, but I think it's an improvement! It's healthier because I know exactly what's in it and cheaper because I'm using what I grow instead of buying from the store. I hope you enjoy it too!

¼ tsp. onion powder
¼ tsp. garlic powder
¾ Cup + 2 Tbsp. water
