Food Dehydrating

[Brambles]

What I'm planning on doing (when I don't get beaten to the Evilbay sale) is see what fruit or veg my local supermarket has yellow-labeled.... That way I'm not losing anything really

Also look out for books on the subject (Amazon, Evilbay etc)

Fruit leathers are for soft fruit aren't they ?

This is my dehydrating Bible.

You can also use frozen veg to dehydrate. Peas, beans, sweetcorn and small cut veg. It's great because you don't need to steam blanch.

You can also make vegetable leathers. Pumpkin(or squash) and tomato make great leathers.

Ooo I'd never thought of dehydrating food... I think I might have to have a go at it. Is it true the fruits/veg rehydrate to roughly twice their original size so you only really need to use half a cup where you'd normally use a whole cup in recipes?
