Prickle

I can never wait longer than 2.

4 qts applesauce and 6 half-pints peach jam.

I've known people who have a basement dug and set their mobile on top. You might look into that if you think you may be in one permanently. That is if you want a basement.

4 pts bread and butter pickles

6 pts spiced pickled peaches. Yum!

Three 1/2 pints of cherry jam. Oh my word, this jam is good. I'm gonna have to reevulated my favorite jams now. I have more cherries that I was going to dehydrate but now I don't know...

3 pts pineapple

I've made yogurt in a thermos preheated with boiling water then wrapped in a towel.

When I was little my Grandmother would make a pot roast from an O-bone roast. My grandfather and I would fight over the "ganoush" bone, that little round marrow bone from the roast. We even had tiny little spoons that were made for scooping marrow from bones.

Last night I opened a can of peas to go with dinner and neither one of us was much interested in eating them so I threw them in the dehydrator to see what would happen. Oddly enough this morning when I lifted the lid I had dried peas.

Mushrooms and whole baby carrots.

If you have a vacuum sealer some of them have jar attachments or you can also use one of the canisters. You put the canning jar inside the canister and let the sealer do it's thing. If you don't have a vacuum sealer you can use oxygen absorbers. I believe it's a 100cc absorber per quart jar.

According to my handy dandy instruction booklet that happens to be sitting right here, Sage takes 20 to 24 hours. Drying temps should not exceed 90* to 100*. (Don't tell anyone . . . I dry my herbs in the microwave. it takes about 3 mins Put them on a couple paper towels and nuke at 30 sec intervals stirring between bursts until crispy. )

Well, I found it. It wasn't in the instruction booklet which would make too much sense, I guess. It was on a single page leaflet. 4 trays is recommended.

Alrighty, I have read and re-read the manual and unless it's hiding in some obscure place (like right under my nose) in there it doesn't say anything about how many trays should be used for optimal performance. I have a 700w Nesco for fyi purposes.
