Did you check, how many lbs of fresh apricots you can load, and how many lbs
of dry apricots you get in the end? I'm just trying to figure out if we can
beat supermarket dehydrated prices.  Or - "freeze-dried".  I don't know
whether those dry bananas that I've bought in Chinatown, were dehydrated of
freeze-dried (not a single English word on the package), but they were not
cheap - $4 per lb or even more. (No weight on the package either - hell, I
don't even know if they are sure bananas :-)
