This is one of the things I love to do. Is make homemade powder/spices. Cant get any fresher then that! This is one of my favorite ones. I add this to a lot of stuff and you don’t need to use much! We bought a case of peppers for 1$ ya I know 1$ for 25lbs. We bought 4 boxes lol. I canned up a lot of pickled peppers! There was no way I was throwing away all the tops, insides, scraps. They went on dehydrating sheets and into the Dehydrating they go. They smaller your pieces, the less you have the less time it will take. These were thicker and a lot of trays. I dehydrated at 135F about 14hours.Once dried and cooled. I take a coffee/spice grinder and grind down to a powder. I store in mason jar. I combine a few of my powders to make different spices. Excellent pepper flavourLove our dehydrator. It’s half the price to leading brands but works just as good!
Celery, celery, celery, what can I say, this vegetable fluctuates so much in price it astounds me. One week it will be 97cents, next week it’s 7$, what the heck? I want my celery but I can’t nor would pay that! So we buy in bulk when it’s super cheap $5 for a 24count case! I dehydrate them cubed, sliced, large for stirfrys and small for soups. Celery is practically all water so they literally turn to nothing once Dehydrated and take up to next to no room.Dehydrate 135F for about 12-14hours. 24 whole celery fits in 2 quart jars, wow! We just love DehydratingLove our dehydrator! It’s half the price to leading brands but works just as good!
I love Dehydrating garlic! Some say it’s too strong for inside the house, we don’t find. We love it. These are sliced with my food processor. Which I do the most with the garlic.Lay out on dehydrating sheets. Dehydrate at 135F for about 8-10 hours.10lbs dehydrated sliced garlicIve been making my own garlic powder for years. Doesn’t even compare to store bought this stuff is excellent and gold in my opinion :0)Love our dehydrator! It’s half the price to leading brands but works just as good!
My kids love these McCormick candied marshmallows! I wanted to figure out how to do them at home. I think I came pretty darn close, the kids were amazed! Mini marshmallows Icing sugar Water Food color flavoured extract oil Dehydrator Make an icing with icing sugar and water. Not to thin but not to thick either. Depending on how many flavours your making you’ll need that many bowls. I just used soup bowls with about 1/2-3/4CUP of icing in each. Add a drop or two of food coloring to each one. I tried to match colors with their flavours. Add couple drops of your extract flavour in each Get all your dehydrating trays out. I used dehydrating sheets and all my 6 trays. Now take your marshmallows and start dunking them in icing, I use a fork for this. I had only did about 4-6 mini marshmallows at once. Use fork to lift them out making sure all excess icing falls off, back into bowl. Lay them out on your lined trays. They shouldn’t have a thick coating on them. Just a nice coating of icing over the marshmallows. I do each bowl/flavour at a time then move to the next. Dehydrate 125 for about 8 hours. Depending on your dehydrator. Let cool before eating. The icing should be nice and firm on outside but chewy, and still a soften marshmallow inside. These are the brand of flavouring I used. I bought from the bulk Barn in Canada. These tastes excellent and you don’t need much!Love our dehydrator. It’s half the price compared to the leading brands!
