We've gotten the dehydrator out and are making good use of it this gardening season! We did a batch of cherries (yum! Great in our granola)....a batch of Mexico Midget tomatoes (took forever, but I am testing it as a way to keep seeds to see if they grow better from dehydrated tomatoes than fermenting - MM is stubborn for me).
Then - we've done quite a few batches of zucchini and eggplant - quick, and came out great.
And tonight I made my own Paprika! I did a mix of mostly sweet bells with a few New Mexico type of Anaheims (brown, orange, yellow) - took part of two days, but just put the dried pieces into my food processor and ground them up - the most heavenly smell! Smells like the best roasted peppers I've ever had. Can't wait to use it! Wasn't ready for the conversion of a dozen big bells into a little bag of paprika - but I've got plenty of peppers, so I will do it a few more times!
