I expect to be doing a bunch of apples as well if we make it out to the orchard in September or October."



Granny Smith are great dusted with some cinnamon. I do them all of the time. Be sure to dip them in some diluted lemon juice to prevent them from browning while drying.

Just wondering if anyone else has their dehydrator fired up? I started some sausage and salsa going about 5;30pm yesterday but shut it off when I let for work about 10;00pm, the salsa was about half done and the sausage was still soft in the middle probably will need 4/5 hours when I get home this morning. I need to do some hamburger for spaghetti and tacos, and will try some baked beans, great source of potassium, nuts are a good source but not as much fun to "share" with your tentmate. We leave in 3 weeks but I only have 4/5 days off before we leave so I want at least the food out of the way. FRED

I just got a dehydrator a few weeks ago and have dehydrated chili, corn, peas, taco seasoned beef, spaghetti sauce with beef and a fruit roll up. We already tried the chili, and I couldn't be happier with the results. I think it turned out better rehydrated than the day we first made it. We still need a few more meals for our upcoming trip but have decided what they will be.

Yup, or Sprite/7up. They're both high in citric acid and impart little to no taste.

My wife just made ripple's beef stroganoff recipe (from the main course thread), and it was really good. Half of it is now in the dehydrator.

Peaches, tomatoes and zucchini chips.
