We eat them as snacks as soon as they are dried. Therefore, I can't answer. I put a little sea salt on them and man are they good.

I still have some that I did two years ago that I dehydrated and put in a jars that I am still using that are good.

As long as they are done right and sealed properly they should last many years. That mean absolutely no moisture!

 

[Croaking Frog]

Cool. I love dehydrated tomatoes

 

[Dani]

I really like to marinade them with some garlic and olive oil but only do as needed.

A buddy has a harvest right freeze drier. I love the sliced tomatoes, almost taste like tomato sauce. He says they'll keep for 40 years. But, that is freeze dried. Not sure if simply dehyrated.

Yep, freeze dry is the way to go. I use mine for so many things. It is my food saving method of choice. Of course, there are things you can’t use it for like honey and high fat content items.

Never thought about freeze drying honey, LOL. Are you sure you can't?

I purchase granulated honey in #10 cans but I also have 4 gallon bucket of pure honey. Why would you want to freeze dry honey anyway? Honey doesn't really go bad as long as it remains sealed, I had honey in one quart canning jars that was 14 years old in the basement on the shelf, we put the jar in warm water, it got a little hard but it returned to it's liquid state after heating it, it was perfectly fine. Before anyone ask, no, we didn't apply heat, we put it in a cold jar, put the lid and ring on it.

Vaccuum packed at 30 ihgV and stored in low light to reduce UV, about 7 to 10 years at the extreme, 5 years on average.

That's like how many licks to the center of a tootsie pop

They found honey over 2000 yrs old, sealed, still edible.

as I know, honey itself is a conservant, so it does not need protection.
One is said that the Egyptians even used honey to preserve the mummies of the pharaohs.

Nevertheless, if the honey is of poor quality or fake, then it deteriorates - "candied".
We only buy honey from farmers we know and never in shops or agricultural markets.
