It's been a while since I posted about food preservation. Fortunately there was a sale on strawberries a couple days ago.
That was about 2 lbs of strawberries ($3.29/lb, on sale for $1/lb) and a fair amount of labor in washing, coring, slicing and dehydrating them.
I expect these would last for months or years if they weren't so delicious. They taste every bit as good as they look.
This is why I don't have as much time to work on cool tech projects.
And I'm okay with this. Building up my skills so I can grow and preserve basically enough food for my family is going to continue to take priority.
You can take one of the dried ones and rub it against two fingers to release the seeds from the skin and plant them for infinite strawberries.
thanks for posting. whats the process look like for dehydrating them? growing some strawberries for the first time in a long time right now
Wash 'em, remove the stem, and slice them into even slices (1/8" to 1/4", but whatever you do, make sure you are consistent).
Put them in the dehydrator at 57°C for about 14 hours. Take them out and let them cool before putting them in jars.
cool, thanks. should be easy enough to do that with my s9
A pleasant side effect of dehydrating fruit is that the entire house smells AMAZING.
