This is what I did last sunday. I dehydrated few pieces of orange, orange peel, raspberries and strawberries. The strawberries, oranges and peel took 8 hours, the raspberries was 22 hours.
I grind the orange peel into powder and since I sliced the strawberries too thin, few of them has been broken into pieces so I also grind them to make a new batch of strawberry powder. The color of the strawberries that has been dried in the dehydrator is more brighter than the ones I dried in the oven, and I think the lemon juice also helps retain its color. But next time I will make it slightly thicker so it won't be too fragile.The orange peel powder is perfect for Pieter's favorite...orange baked potato with butter, garlic and fleur de sel Yum! I will also make orange flavored macarons.
Next week I will dehydrate apple, banana and kiwi. Haha I would love to have a shelf full of dehydrated fruits, veggies and herbs.
