I use the bounties of the growing season and the lower prices when things are in season to supplement my outdoor adventure diet. I use an old Harvest Maid dehydrator with 4 trays. Harvest Maid still makes them and you can also buy accessories such as more trays and plastic liners to make fruit leathers. The unit has a one speed fan and an adjustable heat control. I have been drying strawberries lately as well as an early season seedless watermelon. Later I will dry kiwi fruit, cherries (if I can get them at a decent price), peaches, etc. A friend makes jerky in his but I still prefer to make mine in a smoker. I find that dehyrating is a great way to reduce weight and volume while taking advantage of seasonal bounties. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
