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!

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.
