Preserving tomatoes for long periods without refrigeration, jars, or freezers may sound impossible, but there’s an old method that can keep them fresh for years—sun-drying and proper storage. This ancient technique allows you to enjoy the flavor and nutrients of tomatoes, even a decade later. Here’s how you can preserve your tomatoes naturally for up to 10 years without worrying about spoilage.
The Sun-Drying Method
Sun-drying is one of the oldest and most effective ways to preserve tomatoes. When done properly, this method removes moisture from the tomatoes, making them inhospitable for bacteria, mold, or decay, allowing them to last for an incredibly long time.
