Doesn’t one of you dehydrate?
I do not have a dehydrator.
I do. I listened to JustaDumbBlonde’s recommendation and purchased an Excalibur dehydrator. I’ve done yogurt chips, pear chips, cantaloupe chips, kale chips (which I don’t care for), tomatoes, squash seeds, and a bunch of other stuff. It worked very well. Last year’s produce is still viable in ziplock baggies. We ate the pear chips when we were on the road to Nashville earlier this year. Mr. Sg has made beef jerky in it out of London broil. It is a fun and useful appliance. Oh, yes—jalapenos and sweet potatoes, too. I haven’t attempted to reconstitute anything yet. We were kind of overzealous with food preservation last year so a lot of our stuff is still available to eat. You can make fruit leather and yogurt chips for the kids. Earthwoman dried apple slices and they are spectacular with cinnamon and oatmeal! Please excuse my tardiness today. Had insomnia and finally got to sleep around 0700 hrs. Only got up @ 1500. At least Daffy and Slings were around to keep me company, and CyberLiberty for a little bit. I’m very happy that you’re home safe and sound w/the Chicklets and Chicklettes!
