Anyway going through my camera memory card I found a few random photos so thought now was as good a time as any to share them with you!!
Dehydrated Tomatoes |
Different fruits blended for dehydration. |
A selection of fruits and banana for dehydration |
onions ready for dehydration |
So not a huge selection of pictures and only a fraction of what I did. Since the winter arrived I haven't really used the dehydrator but it will be going full force again once the allotment gets into full swing again. The onions and tomatoes I ground to a powder for convenient cooking once they were dried and the fruits became wonderful fruit leathers to chew on. I also dried lots of apples and they were loved by all...even Trojan who won't eat fresh apple pieces!!
I did have what I would consider one failure...well it wasn't a failure exactly as the dehydration
process worked fine....it was just the flavour that was left at the end of it...I don't even really know
how to describe apart from the fact that it tasted absolutely foul!! Needless to say I won't ever try
dehydrating COURGETTES again...lol!!
.
It's been years since I've done much with my dehydrator. About the only thing I do with mine any more is make jerky
ReplyDeleteI have made lots of different Jerky using different meats and marinades... all have gone down really well but a few were rather hot..lol
DeleteI'm not surprised you gave courgettes a go, it would have been good if it had worked with the glut we all manage to grow. Glad to hear that everything else worked fine, they certainly look good.
ReplyDelete|I am seriously considering growing a lot less courgettes this year...I didn't have any at all last year but then really missed them! So far I am quite pleased with my creations!!

ReplyDeleteDear Tanya,
Are you looking for honey-bee-jewellery? Please let me make some samples for you. I was planning on making necklaces, bracelets and earrings with bee-charms and honey-coloured glass beads. Please let me show you.
Kind regards,
Anna
Yes Anna....honey bee jewellery...would love to see samples....very excited!! :-)
DeleteDid you dry any herbs? I aldimwonder whether it would dry flowers for pot pourri?
ReplyDeleteI didn't dry any herbs Sue...I kind of like drying them under my shelves in my kitchen...smells lovely!! Never thought of pot pourri...it's not something I have at home but it is something to think about and experiment with so I will let you know!!
DeleteDear Tanya, This certainly will be used when the bounty of all the veggies and fruits come along. xo Catherine
ReplyDeleteIt really will Catherine...I have made quite a few things already and I can't wait to give more things a go!!
