How to Make Campers Tomato Leather
- Finely chop 1 large onion and 2 cloves garlic.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sauté until softened and golden brown (about 5-7 minutes).
- Add 2 (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes, 1 tablespoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the pan. Simmer gently for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Preheat oven to 140°F (60°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Spread the tomato mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet in a thin layer (about 1/8 inch thick).
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven with the oven door slightly ajar (using a wooden spoon or oven thermometer to keep it open). Dry for 6-8 hours, or until the leather is completely dry and leathery to the touch. Check frequently after 5 hours.
- Once cool, carefully peel the tomato leather from the baking sheet.
- Roll the leather tightly and store it in an airtight plastic bag or container. It can be frozen for extended storage.
- To reconstitute: For every 1/2 cup of tomato leather, add 1 1/2 cups of water. Simmer over low heat, stirring frequently, until the leather is fully rehydrated and the sauce is smooth.
