What Did You Dehydrate Today?

[FarmerJamie]

To be honest, I like my onion frozen better than dehydrated. The dehydrator can be made into a powder that works. Just personal taste. Same with green peppers.

Other things -- basil, oregano, mint, etc -- dehydrate!

I eat the dehydrated rings like candy, using sweet onions, that is.

Loading the onions into the dehydrator, I see I left one of the trays in there from last time. Doh!

Squirt of onion juice in the eye cutting them, then spilled about 1/3 of a tray on the garage floor, yeah, not my best effort.

Wife has been battling a bad sinus infection this week, hope I am not coming down with it.

I eat the dehydrated onion rings, too...more than cooking with them. Are we weird?

My eggplants are going to be producing alot soon. Wonder if I can dehydrate some of them? I planted Rosa Blanca, Diamond and another small black one.

I dehydrate tested last week. They're so wet, you have to slice really thin, these were not. I took mine out without being done all way, sauted some and froze. They were easier to handle. Ones I ate -- samples, ya know -- had not soaked as much oil, so way less to saute them. Tasted just as good. I often cube, saute, add sauce and melt cheese on top. In a sauce pan for a fast, almost as good as baked Parm. Really thin wouldn't give the soft center we go for, IMO. Try and let us know. Your turn.

Oregano, rosemary, sage, parsley

OK. I'll use my mandolin to slice them. Thanks

Slicing apples for drying...ate all the others, so time to get these working. They make great snacks.

I remember my grandma stringing up apple slices to sun dry. Cheese cloth covered for bug protection.

@murphysranch how's that eggplant coming along?

Canned 15 pints of peaches yesterday and threw the rest into the dehydrator. They were done this morning. Made the whole house smell awesome! I have so many roma tomatoes that I think I will throw those into the dehydrator too. And the grape tomatoes too

I like dehydrated romas or any paste type. Slice, dry...snack or cook 'em.
