    I pick up older mushrooms from my farmer"s market, dehydrate them and make a mushroom powder that is an excellent addition to soups and stews. Most markets have a scratch and dent section for their old produce that I raid it whenever I see stuff I can roast, pickle, smoke, dry or freeze for future use.

    I've made lemon powder amongst others before. I have a general countertop dehydrator and I did the peeling method. I did it to make teas so I didn't grind it up into a powder. I also ground up orange peels, fresh mint, garlic and onions to make my own garlic and onion powder.
    Lemon powder goes great with fish as you mentioned. It also goes very well and pastries, like a lemon cake. It works well with icings or as a flavoring agent for little treats.
    I would also recommend not grinding it so fine and leaving lemon chips or flakes so you can make wonderful teas.

  • @lisabooker6405
    @lisabooker6405 Před 7 lety +166

    Great video! I used my oven too before I got my dehydrator. I got the less expensive brand than the Excalibur and it does EXCELLENT. A tip for your oven dehydrating...if you put a wine cork or something similar in size in the oven door to crack it a bit it will help speed up dehydration and it won't actually "cook" your items like it can with door closed. Leaving it cracked just leaves room for moisture to escape making it all even out. Just a suggestion is all. I'm no pro but it did a good job for me so I thought I'd share. You can use your dehydrated items for everything from seasoning, medicines, soaps, shampoos, vinegars, smoothies, all kinds of goodies. Thanks so much for all you do! You've got a great channel and I love, love, love your family! God Bless! ~Lisa

    I use my lemon powder on chicken mixed with some fresh cracked black pepper. Also, use it in my soft sugar cookies and shortbread cookies. It works very well with seafood and I love it in my Shrimp Scampi. I also dehydrate tomato paste and mushrooms (separately) and then grind them into a powder. Wow - very convenient in soups, stews, sauces, and gravy! I never did pumpkin - need to work on that. Thanks for the great idea!

    You can put the unused lemon juice into icecube trays and freeze it, for longer term storage (and to free space in the fridge). You can also measure out 1 cup and see how many cubes it makes, to make measuring with the frozen cuber easier later.

      The easiest way to clean your microwave is just put a quarter cup of white vinegar in a glass bowl. Microwave on full power for two minutes. Open the door to let the vinegar fumes out for a minute or so and wipe down with a damp cloth. Even the worst baked on splatters will wipe right off.

    In cooking bread, you can use this lemon powder to substitute for salt. I have used a teaspoon of lemon powder or lemon juice, plus a teaspoon of vinegar to replace salt used in my bread. You can smell the vinegar odor as the dough proofs or rises, but you can't taste or smell it when the bread is cooked. Also, I have eaten sandwiches at a German restaurant before and had the new experience of lemon slices being placed inside of the sandwich to give it a tangy flavor. The lemon slices were thin and really added to the sandwich as to taste. YOu may also try using oranges for another dehydration project. Like say, most of these resulting spices can replace sodium in your diet and add a unique flavor to any bread or cake. Thanks for sharing..

    Freeze fresh lemons then graze them with the tiny holes on a box grater. Spread out the grated lemon on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Place the sheet pan in the oven at the lowest setting. After a couple of hours remove a stir. Replace in the oven. I stir mine every two (2) hours until the lemon is very dry. Powder in a spice grinder or in a food processor. I use this to make a "lemonade" that is both a vitamin C source and a lung tonic since lemon oil is useful as a treatment for lung congestion. Use the whole lemon. I sweeten my "lemonade" with powdered Stevia leaf. I do not use sugar.

      Walmart now sells little miniature ice cube trays where the cube is the size of your thumb. Probably 1 tablespoon. Get some of these and you can freeze dozens f cubes in the same square per footage of tray converted to mini cubes. When I pass thru the area of the store I get some. Make great gifts, they even have them in 3 inch cylinders ready to drop in bottled water or soda pop. Ones of lemon would be ideal. Can also push cylinder one of water into soil to water indoor plants waters soil slowly as it melts. Prevents soaking plants with too much water. Or put couple of thumb size on the soil to water the plant. I live in apartment with no pure water source. I buy bottled water for plants.

Because of the wax coating that they put on them since it's the Peel you are using you wanted to be free of wax and pesticides and all that stuff.

    @TheSaraGames Před 7 lety +13

    I love cooking, even though it's a huge strain on my body now. Been cooking since I was 5 years old. Preground spices/herbs lose their potency faster than whole spices. So if one is willing to leave the peels whole after dehydration and only grind up what you need at the moment of cooking it will last, flavour wise a lot longer than grinding it. That being said if you burn through ground up spices in no time flat it does have an advantage to doing it at the time they are done dehydration. There is also the idea of just using a little more as it gets weaker. All of these are viable options.
    What you did here could be done with oranges, limes and just about any citrus fruit really. If you have access to a lime tree consider lime leaves for Thai food. What else...Oh, a fresh bay leaf plant. Fresh bay leaves are very different than dried. Dry your own and have some fresh on hand :)
