Recipe Description

Shred and pit peaches.You can leave skin on but it looks better dehydrated if you skin them. You don't need to get every piece of skin.

Here is one peach weighting 2.3 oz. Three dehydrated peaches weight in at only 0.6 oz.This is an amazingly sweet snack on the trail.

Delicate fruit is hard to transport into the back country. It can get bruised and ruin easily.One mango is 13.2 oz. Dehydrated is only 2.0 oz. The space and weight alone is worth the up front effort.Use mango in your morning cereal, stir fry or as a naturally sweat snack on the trail.

Try and make all you pieces similar in shape so the all dry to the same consistency.I try and keep the fruit separate so after I can store separate in jars or baggies.(Pictured Peaches and Mangos)

I always make my trays up right after supper around 6 pm. I leave for work around 6 am and almost always everything is finished.When I come home from work everything has cooled off and is ready for storage.

I take the last of my used veggie that are almost ready for compost (because we are spoiled and always want the fresh stuff) and dry them too.Mushrooms and peppers come back to life almost perfectly in a sauce, soup or stir fry in the bush.

Salt and Vinegar Zucchini.Use all the zucchini your neighbor gave you to make delirious salt and vinegar zucchini chips.Your kids WILL eat this. We have a hard time saving this one. It's gone right off the trays.Slice as thin as possible or use a shredder to make thin, even slices.Even slices is the key to all dehydrating.

Soak your zucchini in vinegar, oil and salt.1 Cup vinegar,1 dash of oil,Salt to taste.Then spread over trays.

Fresh or frozen berries will all work.Cut blueberries in half so they can dry quicker.

Another saving tip:I use parchment paper to aid in the cleaning of the racks. The paper also makes it easier to remove the products off of the racks. It kind of acts as the paper on a fruit roll-up.I reuse them if I am doing a dehydrator blitz.I really hope you found this Instructable useful. PS - Please Vote!
