Homemade Mustard Colored Tomato Sauce

OK. Finally. I made homegrown tomato sauce. But it isn't like the normal tomato sauce even though it is made with tomatoes.

  What I did was to gather some tomatoes from the garden, wash them up, then put them in a slow cooker and turned it on high. When I noticed the skins being split open, then I turned the slow cooker off and let the tomatoes cool.

   Once they were cooled down some, I peeled the skins off and put them on a rack and placed them in the food dehydrator. I took the rest of the tomatoes and put them in a blender for a couple of minutes. The color turned out quite interesting.

   The tomatoes I used were lemon tomato, blues Fahrenheit tomato, and green zebra tomato. It doesn't look much like the usual red/orange tomato sauce, but there are so many uses for tomato sauce. I will have to see which one is the best for that color.

   I will use the dried tomato skins to make tomato powder with. A good way to use this powder is to sprinkle it on chicken or fish. It is kind of like a barbecue powder and gives a good color to food when it is sprinkled on it.


A couple of yellow tomatoes, green tomatoes,
and blue tomatoes made up this tomato sauce.
It is like the color of mustard.
