Guest guest Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Bill, good afternoon, I LOVE my food dehydrator! If it grows I'll dry it! I don't blanch (except vegetables) normally unless I want to freeze. I run the vegetables and fruit through a food mandolin - julienne, fine fulienne or circles or flat cut and then dry. I am never without at least 10 vegetables (other than the bean family and there are about 6 or more of them) in my pantry. I buy any time the vegetables are cheap and dry them paper-dry so I don't get any moulds. The only vegies I don't dry are a range of mushrooms. I buy them from a great wholesaler. I do the same with my fruits and I have about the same number of different fruits in the pantry. I look after wildlife so can't be without a ready supply of fruit. I also make my own muesli so I do need lots of fruit. I prefer to dry my fruits and vegetables as freezing takes up too much room. I need my freezer for all my bulk cooking. Regards Merinda Don't burn your bridges until you have built a pontoon ______________________________\ __ Get more done like never before with 7 Mail.
