Dehydrating...

I have spent the last couple of days learning everything I can about dehydrating food. I fully intend to can a ton of food this year but I also want to be able to store some food for a long time. I froze quite a bit of produce last year and wasn't exactly thrilled with the convenience of it. It takes some planning to get a large bag of something like frozen pumpkin out and have it ready to bake pies. I watched a video about dehydrating cooked pumpkin and then hydrating it when you are ready to make a pie. This seems like it would be awesome for my last minute baking sprees as well as to have foods ready to go camping and whatnot. I have ordered a dehydrator and will keep you posted on how this works out for me.
