A Really Busy Day!

The photo is blurry but you get the drift!...  I have prepared and am dehydrated six trays of peach slices.  I wish I had ordered oxygen absorbers earlier, but I'm sure the slices will be fine until they arrive this week.  Besides, it will take at least a day and a half to dehydrate.  Lots of work but the reward is great at the end!

I have my eyes on the Excalibur Dehydrator.  Oh how I'd love to have it on my counter...  Nine trays....temperature control.  Serious stuff...but...I've got to show Hubs I am serious about dehydrating before I broach the subject.  Perhaps if I make him some beef jerky he might cave in and surprise me with one under the tree.

Peaches today...plums tomorrow?  We'll see!

    That looks yummy. I dehydrated lots of apples a couple of Falls ago and I store them in glass jars and they keep well. Nice in the winter.

    My friend made lots of jerky for back packing. It was awesome. I like dried tomatoes.

    Looks great! I've never had one of those wonderful dehydrators, but this makes me want to join in the fun! :-)

    Oooo! The Excalibur is on my wish list too. I'd say give the jerky a try. Served with a pie made with your peaches for dessert. That should cinch it. :-)
