This seems like a great idea. I used to have a friend in the Bay Area who would dehydrate persimmons, and they really were like candy. I could really use a dehydrator right now for these cherry tomatoes.
Either today or tomorrow I'm gonna roast all those cherry tomatoes and freeze them up.
I didn't realize that with three tomato plants we would have more than we could consume.
Its a nice "problem" to have.
If you have to deal with "problems" like surplus, then you are blessed indeed.
Recently my mother had bought an air fryer with about 17 presets, and one of the presets is labeled
dehydrate; this is what got the gears churning in my head. I need to buy sample amounts of oranges, lemons, limes, and strawberries to see how well they turn out in their dehydrated state. After some trial-and-error and I figure out what I'm doing, I can say "good-bye" to some snacking habits and say "hello" to others.Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I would just be careful about the shrinking that happens with the fruits and veggies, its easy to over-snack and over-indulge in sugar that way because you get all the sugar, but its so much smaller. Also it can get kinda expensive.
Still lots healthier than anything packaged.
Good luck, let's see some picture when you've done it.
