What Did You Dehydrate Today?

I need to dehydrate jerky dog treats. Too much meat in the freezer that I'll never use.

DS16 cut the meat for me. 2 venison shanks from 2019. Lamb lung and liver. My dog wanted to sample - he kept hitting his Eat button while DS16 was cutting up the meat.

We might do more today. My freezers are stuffed and dog treats are expensive.

I just drooled at those figs. I planted two figs last fall. It will be several years till we get a crop.

I planted 2 and goats ate them! Along with 2 apple trees 🤬. These come from a friend whose "fig bush" is almost 12' tall -- there when they bought house over 20 yr ago. They don't like figs 😱🤣

She even picks them for me each day! Of course, I do give her eggs! Couple dz a week, all yr. We're buds 💕 I'll get more each week until they're gone.👍

DS16 made more dog treats. Dehydrated venison and beef heart. The beef heart is from the dairy farm my kids trained/borrowed show calves from. They happened to be butchering when we were over for calf training.

Removed done figs...put in 5 more trays. Got a call that I could come for more she'd picked. Set for Monday. . Bumper crop this year & so sweet!

I'm thinking I might throw a few slices of eggplant in. Never tried but, thinking to partially dry and then freeze 🤔. It's such a wet veg and I use slices for eggplant Parm. Anyone ever try this dry partway first?

I haven't done the eggplant, will await the results of your experiment

I found cheap peanut butter at the scratch and dent grocery store. Looks like I'll have DS16 make pb dog treats next. The recipe is like a cookie, but then they get dehydrated after baking.
