    When our kids were young I would dehydrate fruit for family vacations. I would use canned ring pineapple, sliced apples dipped in the pineapple juice to prevent color changing then sprinkle with cinnamon. Then I would make fruit leathers by throwing a can of fruit cocktail in the blender and smooth the mixture over a solid sheet that came with my machine.

    I love your channel! I do have a question: have you ever vacuum sealed honey (in the mason jars) to see if it delays crystallization? I have started an experiment comparing the vacuum sealed honey vs regularly sealed honey and have them labelled and stored and wondered if that has already been done and if it helps at all.

    For less mess, I would empty the dry leaves onto a large piece of parchment paper or wax paper rather than into the cutting tray; then bend it like you bent the mesh from the Excalibur to dump them right into the blender jar. Thanks for your great tips.

    What do you think the cost of dehydrating yourself including all the electricity costs vs. buying?

    • @ThePurposefulPantry
      @ThePurposefulPantry Před dnem

      I can't buy the variety that I make, or the quantity. The electric cost is around $30-35/mo to run the machine 24/7 - and dry as much as I can. Definite worth it for me.

Could you please help me? Me and my daughter love Ranch Dressing but we live in germany and a bottle of it is really expensive. As well the Seasoning mix packages.

    Today, at a school supply giveaway event, I was also given a big box of food, including a crate of mangoes. They're already overripe, and a few are even totally rotted on the inside, unfortunately, so I'm dehydrating what I can to make them last longer. The ones that are still edible are amazingly sweet, though, and I'm thinking of pureeing some into fruit leather. I also got a bunch of tomatillos, so I'll probably make some salsa verde for the first time. 😋 A whole bag of avocados and 3 packages of sliced mushrooms I'll probably dehydrate, too. I'm excited 😊
