Dehydrating fruit will fill your home with pleasing, fruity smells. If you're like me, you'll get hungry and start snitching before the fruit is dry. Do not worry, because dehydrated fruit is so healthy for you an extra early taste to help you reward yourself for your effort is a nice thing.
Dehydrating fruit is simple and rewarding. Cut the fruit into little equal-sized pieces place in a single layer on the dehydrator trays and start up the dehydrator. It takes from 6 to 36 hours to dry fruit depending on the moisture content of the fruit but the time is worthwhile when you taste thecompleted items.
Dehydrating fruit concentrates the natural sugars so your bananas will taste very sweet on the trail. Find mature firm fruits for the highest sugar and nutritional content but do not buy bruised or overripe fruit. When dehydrating fruits like bananas pick out yellow bananas with some brown speckles on the peel for optimum sweetness. Peel the bananas and cut into slices. Dehydrate until they are leathery and the banana slices won't stick together. 6 to 10 hours is a good average time to plan to spend.
Your dehydrated bananas could be like chips in some cases and moldable in others. It is entirely your decision to permit them to go thru the process of dehydrating so you get the result you would like to have. I regularly let some go to the pliable stage and stop the dehydrating and let the rest go to the harder chip stage. That way I have a choice of tastes and textures and can decide on the texture I desire when I make a decision to carry a snack.
Whether crunchy as in the chip stage or chewy as in the more bendable stage, it's a superb way to keep bananas from over ripening if they appear to be ripening faster than you or your folks are eating them. You frequently can pick up good deals in your fruit dept too when the bananas are ripening quicker than the customers are buying them and the produce manager is putting them on for a special price.

Marjorie J McDonald experienced growing up in a gardening family. Each and every year a large garden was planted and all extra food was sold, frozen, canned or dehydrated so the extra foods lasted all thru the year. Creating food dehydrator recipes was especially fun for her family to do. Her family loved seeing what they could combine with the bananas they purchased. The combination of dehydrated fruit was appreciated when the snow was blowing outside.
