Today, for the first time, I’m using the dehydrator Bulldog man bought me.  I cleaned and sliced strawberries and peeled kiwi for the first run. One more hour of dehydrating, and then I will have a final product.  Hopefully, the end result will taste fabulous.   I’m looking forward to dehydrating all kinds of fruit, vegetables, and herbs.
