My mom used to have this HUGE garden that she would tend to everyday and we would visit the farmers market and roadside fruit stands! One of our favorite ways to preserve foods was to dehydrate them!

[wp_ad_camp_2] We dehydrated a ton of foods, but the one item that stood out most in my childhood memories was dehydrated seedless watermelon! The texture and taste of the dried watermelon is unlike any of the other fruits! We like to dry it completely so it is crunchy and SUPER sweet! Dehydrated watermelon is probably one of the sweetest dried fruits we have made! Everyone who has tried it agrees that it tastes like cotton candy! My boys eat it right out of the dehydrator while it is still hot, so once it is actually done I don’t really have much left to save! Some of the foods we dehydrate: Zucchini (GREAT for snacking and tastes like chips!) cantaloupe okra kiwi strawberry banana plantain (sweet) plantain (savory) (Perfect for dipping in salsa!) oranges (Great steeped with hot tea!) Apples (green, red, golden) lemons (Great steeped with hot tea!) mango papaya herbs (grow and make your own spices!) garlic (used in flavored oil or to use as a spice) cherries watermelon jerky fruit roll-ups (pour applesauce in the fruit roll tray) For holidays and house warming gifts, dehydrated fruits and vegetables are a big hit! My sisters requested various dried fruits and vegetables as their Christmas gift this year. I found these neat vintage style mason jars at target and they make great containers to hold the dehydrated foods because they are air tight! Dehydrated foods are great to take to the movies, camping or car trips! They are a wonderful, healthy alternative to road-trip foods found at a convenient store. Our dehydrator is a Nesco American Harvest Express Food Dehydrator. It came with a jerky gun and fruit roll trays! Amazon is the best place to buy one! [wp_ad_camp_3]
