Short version:<br />Chips: <br />cut them really fine, peel on. I did about a bag full, filled a very large pot. If they aren't really fine they will end up being too hard.<br />Put them in a big pot with a couple of cups of vinegar then cover with water. Cook for 15-20 minutes.<br />Lay on dehydrator trays and sprinkle with good quality salt.<br />Dry for 12-24 hours. One recipe said 24, my instruction book said 10, I left them in for 15.<br />Good luck!!Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05580692106162316063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3203441012132418847.post-2671755735337400082013-11-10T17:02:27.429+08:002013-11-10T17:02:27.429+08:00Hi Zara,

I have heard the Excaliburs are awesome (if you can afford them) but I am pretty happy with this one so far! Its an old Harvest Maid. I love it, I can dry fruits that are just getting a bit past prime eating and the flavour is awesome! Also the preservatives in dried fruit are not good for asthmatics (as all three of my kids are) so I love having a healthier alternative. Mine has the sheets for fruit leather etc too. Worth looking second hand though!Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05580692106162316063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3203441012132418847.post-12811062590298547832013-11-10T16:46:16.307+08:002013-11-10T16:46:16.307+08:00I love that you're eating from your gardens al...I love that you're eating from your gardens already. It just highlights how much cooler our climate is though. Just planted pumpkins and spuds today. :) How is the milking going and is your yoghurt made from your goats milk?<br />Loquats are the best hey. I tried them once as about a 12 yo and I think once since but I remember loving the tropical yet subtley flavoured fruit. Did you know the leaves can be used for making an expectorant and the fruits themselves act as a mild sedative! (I can hear you ladling them out to the kids now ;) )<br />Best of luck with your exams although I would say that with D's and HD's all along, luck isn't needed and the hard work has already been done. Knock em dead! :)<br />Talk to me about those chips too! When you say blanched in vinegar do you mean dipped in boiling vinegar or... I NEED that recipe!!! :D With us now on the gluten free bandwagon and being sugar free and trying to dodge the preserved foods, I do miss junk food sometimes. As an ex junk addict I'd love to have a guilt free binge every now and then and you've just made one of my more recent fave foods (craved SnV chips with a glass of milk and a side of peppermints whilst pregnant with my first - aside from peanut butter on toast it's all I ate) so once those exams and the after parties are all done and dusted, any chance you coud email it to me? Pretty please?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3203441012132418847.post-85739240908944920632013-11-10T16:32:47.979+08:002013-11-10T16:32:47.979+08:00Zara, the top of the list for dehydrators is suppo...Zara, the top of the list for dehydrators is supposed to be the Excalibur. I have a much cheaper and smaller one which at $40 was a good place to start but using it consistently I can now justify the step up (although it will have to wait for free funds :( ). Fowlers Vacola also make one with all the bits and bobs to go with it (jerky maker, fruit leather sheets etc). Just thought I'd share. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3203441012132418847.post-77916652949206193732013-11-10T08:59:45.556+08:002013-11-10T08:59:45.556+08:00I found while at Uni having a bit of a break and d...I found while at Uni having a bit of a break and doing a bit of baking helped clear my head and I was better able to concentrate and get the work done afterwards.<br />I've been thinking of purchasing a dehydrator. do you recommend one?<br />xZarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09577592390723365734noreply@blogger.com
