I should dehydrate some pineapple and then in the fall some good local apples!

I'm not a fan of dehydrated pineapple. It's too sweet that way for me. Apples are a favorite though.

It does depend on the pineapple!

Often we get them and they are very sour. They are good dehydrated though

Besides onions and apples, what are some of the things you like to dehydrate IM?

I'm going to try hamburger jerky this weekend, never made it that way before. Roma tomato chips are great. Sometimes I'll sprinkle those with some powdered basil. They're good with a mixture of onion and garlic powders and a little dry cilantro too. Greens to hide in things so hubs gets them. I'll sprinkle those into burgers, meatloaf, soups. Carrots and celery are nice to have on hand, throw those in with some rice and chicken bouillon for a side dish. Sweet, bell and hot peppers. I'll try just about anything in there.

I like it because I can fit a lot of produce in a quart jar, much mire than if I canned instead.

Yup, here too although I don't make them much any more. I make the kids eat fresh fruit instead.

They were good for lunches when the DDs were in school

Definitely! And you knew what was in them.

My oldest grandson loves dehydrated cranberries. I've done those and oranges and made him a little mixture of those and they're still a favorite for him.
