What have you been dehydrating this fall?
What have you been dehydrating this fall?
I used my Nesco Snackmaster to dry:
1. Jalapeno and faux Jalapeno
2. Anaheim-type peppers (Sahauro and Big Jim)
3. Bell peppers (Red Knight, mostly)
4. Ancho Gigantea (ancho type) pepper
5. A mix of Jonathan and Yellow Delicious apples.
I like the apples for snacking or on hot cereal. The peppers (at least the hot ones) I usually grind into a powder and use for seasoning in dishes.
Some other things I would like to try dehydrating are broccoli and carrots, to use in soups and casserole-type dishes. I usually don't have either of those left over after eating fresh or freezing, in the case of broccoli.
