I've had an Excalibur for over 12 years and love putting up garden excess or clearance produce. The final product lasts for years. When I go to my local Kroger affiliate, I always scour for the $1 red net clearance bags.
Mushrooms are my fav along with bell peppers. Heck, when I was on SNAP and got free bulk produce from a local giveaway, I dehydrated lettuce and cabbage. That was a few years ago, and I'm just about done using it up.
Thanks @FarmerJamie for pics of apples....couldn't get away from wanting! 8 trays working now. 🤣. Things slice fast with a mandoline. Everyone should have that tool.
I had plums languishing on the counter, so I sliced them thin on my mandolin and popped them in my dehydrator. I'm fixing to add kiwi slices. My kids prefer "naked" dried fruit without sugar, oil, and sulfites added. They're extremely expensive to purchase. Why haven't I done this before?
