We preserve a variety of ways - waterbath canning, pressure canning, freezing, fermenting, and dehydrating. Dehydrating is one of my favorite ways to preserve the harvest as it is very hands off and requires little prep. With fruit in particular, dehydrating is a way to preserve without all the additional sugar that canning recipes often come with. It is another method of food preservation that creates a shelf stable product, so you don't need to worry about freezer space or losing your harvest if your freezer loses power or is left open. We're stocking the pantry by dehydrating herb salt, fruit leather, and a variety of herbs and vegetables in today's video.
Herb Salt 115 F 4 hours-6 hours
Herbs 115 F 4-6 hours
Yarrow 115 F 4-6 hours
Celery 125 F 6-8 hours
Zucchini 125 F 6-8 hours
Cucumber 125 F 6-8 hours
Fruit Leather 145 F 6-8 hours (always closer to 8 for me)
Kale 125 F 4-6 hours
