BEFORE<\/strong><\/p>\n AFTER\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n So as you can tell, it’s not as much fruit as it looks like. I dehydrated the fruit for about 6-7 hours. I probably could have gone longer on the pineapple. I did not do any pre-treatment of the fruit, but I have heard that a dash of cinnamon on the apples is delicious, as well as a lemon\/lime spritz over everything for added zest.<\/p>\n Of course I make sure to cut the fruits as thinly as possible. I really like the crisp edges \ud83d\ude42 For Christmas, I’d love to get a slicer to make the job go faster. I think this mandoline<\/a> by Pampered Chef would be great, and this slicer<\/a> by Paderno World Cuisine has nice reviews on Amazon.<\/p>\n Some other fruits\/veggies I would like to try:<\/p>\n Right now, we are dehydrating fools as we prepare for my husband’s 9-day camping trip to the Boundary Waters. I am dehydrating a bunch of jalape\u00f1os, which will then be crushed into powder and used as a spice in various meals. We’ve also done a pound of carrots, and 4 red peppers. The house is really getting warm, but it smells delicious!<\/p>\n Do you have any recommendations or tips for food dehydrating?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n![\"fruit1\"](\"http:\/\/www.kristendembroski.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/fruit1.jpg\" "\\"Dehydrating")
