Fruit is pretty easy and fullproof. Apples, pears and kiwifruit are probably the quickest and easiest. Fresh pineapple is pretty easy too but that usually goes for about 12-16 hours. Beef jerky is also fairly simple as well.Of course I talk to myself... sometimes I need expert advice.

The chili mac is pretty good and I have my own turkey and dressing casserole in part inspired by his version. I also want to try out the BBQ spaghetti at some point too.Of course I talk to myself... sometimes I need expert advice. -

Sheepdog, like others said, fruit and vegetables are the easiest. Try to remove excess water first by patting dry or draining to reduce time in the dehydrator.Lost in the right direction.

Has anyone dehydrated fruit that has been soaked in alcohol?
For Socks and other dog lovers posting in the thread.......
I think I posted in the dog forum that Freeze Dried Dog Food to be re-hydrated is reasonable and can be shipped.
I have stocked up on some bags.Be wise enough to walk away from the nonsense around you! -

Yum! I didn't get enough peppers to dry this summer. I'm going to dry pineapple this week, I've never done it...maybe make a pineapple puree and do fruit roll-ups?Lost in the right direction. -

I've seen dehydrated pineapple chunks in supermarkets. They add waaaay too much sugar to them though.
Otherwise, taste is very good.

I like to take the fresh pineapple and cut off the top and base, then cut into slices about 1/4 inch think and no more than 3/8 in.
I wait to remove the skin until after slicing, otherwise you end up with a slimy dangerous mess.
Once sliced use a paring knife to cut around the meat and remove the skin. Then using the paring knife or an apple corer, remove the core. And you really do want to remove that core, its nasty and according to some its kinda toxic.
Now you should have 8-12 pineapple rings to place on the machine. I usually cut the rings into quarters then dry for about 14-16 hours. Once at the 12 hour mark I check often until finished.
The pineapple should be somewhat tacky/sticky and leathery.Of course I talk to myself... sometimes I need expert advice. -

Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.
