Have you tried drying/ dehydrating the Juliets ?

No, but I should. I have a bunch on the kitchen table right now.

I mostly grow stuff, and then look for people to pawn it off on..So, after you dehydrate them, what do you do with them? What oven temp? I have a gas oven, but no pilot light which was good for dehydrating stuff in my old oven.

GO slow and low on the temps, maybe 125 -150 degrees to dehydrate fruits and veggies.
With the new electronic gas ovens , you now need electric ignition which renders the stove usless in a power outage for either heat , or cooking.
On another board that I frequent , folks have had to go 'retro' in order to find stoves that work during a power outage.
There actually is a market niche for older stoves that use a pilot light as they are useful for proofing breads, as well as passive dehydration.
