Drying Foods

Dried fruits have always been a favorite of mine, for snack time and for any time when I need a little sweet pick-me-up. I haven't done much drying myself, but have enjoyed the product of other's labors. The fruit from the fruit of their labors - so to speak.

There are multiple booklets out there on drying food. This one is a 4 pages pamphlet from The Ohio State University  Extension. Booklet # HYG-5347-09, it's called Drying Fruits and Vegetables.

And here are a whole bunch of links to food dehydrators. These are plans of various complexity, but I think at least one of these would be easy for you to make.

11/17/17: Pardon me if I have included anything that might be offensive to my strict vegan friends. It will be a process to clean up my blog to strictly vegan/animal friendly. I probably won't take any recipe books off just because they have meat in them because recipes can be adjusted, but I probably won't but things on this blog that are just for meat. Hugs Glenda
