The dehydrator

[grundy53]

What is your favorite fruit or vegetable to dehydrate? Looking for ideas. Do far I've only done apples and bananas.

Strawberries, pineapple and plums.  Although the plums can become quite tart.  The strawberries and pineapple are like eating candy when dried.  Mushrooms dehydrate very well.  We dry most of the Birch Boletes we get in the fall.  If you dry onions or garlic, I would suggest doing it outside.  They put off quite the odor that seems to penetrate through the entire house.  Haven't tried many other veggies.

Wow. Sounds delicious!

Peaches, apples, and apricots are my favorite fruits, cucumber chips for veggies.  I like to sprinkle a little cinnamon or nutmeg on the fruit, salt and pepper on the cucumber...

When you do your pineapple is it fresh or canned? does it make a difference?

Mushrooms......They do really well.  We dehydrate all our morels and they last all year.

The strawberries and the pineapple are great! I think the cucumber will be an aquired taste...

I do all kinds of veggies, corn, peas, carrots, broccoli, beans, for all my back country hiking , I do spaghetti sauce on wax paper a gallon of sauce reduces into a small baggie, I cook up a bunch of elk meat in the crock pot and dehydrate it for adding to noodles, its better to dehydrate home made stuff like  chili, than to use caned stuff because home made is better and not as much salt in it, I package up complete  meals in food saver bags, compacts everything nice and stores easily, winters a good time of year to get the meals all done up for later in the year.

Mango, Pineapple, Watermelon, Cantaloupe and Kiwi are all great. I did some Strawberries, but sliced them to thin and they turned out like Corn Flakes.
