We like the Ambrosia for eating fresh but it has a note of something when dehydrated. It isn't bad, exactly, but we like almost every other apple we've tried so far better. Edit to add. i think many people would like that taste in the dried Ambrosia. I tried them as applesause. That was ok...

Wow!!!! The Northern spy are still drying but they made the best applesauce I've ever tasted. By far. With no sugar or even any cinnamon or nutmeg. Hm, maybe partly because there was no sugar. My mother probably used similar apples but she added tons of sugar to all fruit.

Depends on where you get them. I've seen them around here for that but also for half that much.

The vanessa and mars are too small to cut in half like that. I don't have a fine screen so they would fall through the trays. That would be worth trying if you have a suitable screen. Also, they are less than half the size of the grape tomatoes I dried. The grape tomatoes were tedious to cut in...

Honeycrisp, so far. Second favorite is from the "ugly duckling for applesauce" bin. They may be Jonamac - the people at the market said she saw some in my basket. SweeTango was ok but nothing to write home about - they were better fresh MacIntosh are also ok. Today, I bought a half bushel...

It is time for me to move on from dehydrating grapes. This is the first year I've tried it. I tried a quart each of vanessa, mars, and concord. And went back for about a peck of Vanessas (all they had left). Vanesss and mars are both seedless so I simply rinsed them and then spread them across...

I have two dehydrators. A Presto. It looks like the model 06301 (I can confirm the model later). My daughter bought it used for $25 or less and gave it to me because it is noisy enough that she was never going to use it again. I put it in the back bedroom and shut the door. Or the basement. And...

I sprained my wrist last night. Any ideas on how to tighten lids? I think I can do everything else left to do in canning the tomatoes without aggravating it.

There is the cost of the freeze dryer. And that the food stays the same size. I like the much less space dehydrated food takes.

Oh, you eat them as snacks - just straight like a box of raisins? How else do you use them? I've never used sun dried tomatoes, so don't have much idea how to use them. Technically, I tried a bag or two many years ago - not very successfully - so not "never". I could do a search but it is...

Is it better to take the skins off tomatoes before dehydrating them or leave it on? I'm considering dehydrating grape tomatoes if that makes a difference.
