Dehydrating

Preservation through Dehydration:

An easy way to help preserve fresh fruit, herbs and other foods is through dehydration. Making your perishables last a little longer. Dehydrated foods can last from 4 months to over a year!

There are many methods of dehydration:

• Sun Drying
• Air Drying
• Freeze Drying
• Open Coal Drying 
• Oven Drying
• Electric Food Drying (Which is how Little Lakeview Conservatory LLC usually dries our herbs, veggies and fruits).

What you will need:

• An electric dehydration machine. I use a Presto Dehydro Electric Food Dehydrator. 
• The Food Dehydrator you choose should come with instructions for how to best prep and process your dehydrations.
• Cutting Board
• Knifes
• Storage for you dehydrated Goods

How to:

• Read the directions for the dehydrating unit you have.
• Cut/Slice the items you intend to dehydrate according to the specifications of the machine you are using. 
• Place your food in the machine, turn on and wait!
