What to dehydrate in a working garage sale food dehydrator? Any fresh produce, especially when in season (best quality, cheapest, sweetest), like blueberries, cherries, tomatoes, peppers (bells and chilies), kale, herbs, mushrooms, apples, jerky (beef, turkey), mushrooms, garlic. Ground dried sweet potato/winter squash make interesting coatings for meats/fish. Raw sliced dried sweet potatoes are good dog treats. Using a dehydrator with a tray (no vent holes), pour on a jar of applesauce (or any fruit/veg purée) for fruit/veg “leather.” (How about a savory zucchini/basil/soy leather? Now, that’s in the Iron Chef/Chopped world!) http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/919148 http://www.pinterest.com/katybug30/dehydrator-recipes/ Links to “barks” for backpacking: potato, beans, creamed corn, pasta marinara, pumpkin pie. http://www.backpackingchef.com/food-dehydrator-recipes.html
