fruit chips

i'm still in the midst of using my 20 lbs of apples. not wanting to let them be wasted, i pulled out our dehydrator. not something i would normally have on hand, but our thoughtful friends ed & mary gave it to us for my bridal shower.



 in luuuuve with this machine!



just started with apples...




then on to kiwis...



to pears...




finally strawberries.

its a loonngg process, but they taste so yummy when finished. dehydrating allows you to save the fruit without cooking all their vitamins and good stuff out.

please come borrow my machine. i won't be jealous when you fall in love as well.

  1. makes the whole kitchen smell delicious. You should definitely read Barbara Kingsolver's book Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life.
