I tried making jelly from fruit juice at least 3x and failed . Even when going back and trying to redo the batch it was a fail. I was only able to make jams with the juice AND pulp :-( .
My local grocery store had fresh pineapple for $1 not long ago. I snapped them up! Diced it and put it in the dehydrator. It tastes SO good! Almost like candy. If you have fresh pineapple I would go with that vs. canned for flavor. I didnt have any left to rehydrate. My people ate it all!
I have a dehydrator with no temp or turn dials on it. Its only plug in with a cord. I think I end up burning everything because I don't know how soon to remove the food. I tried pineapple the other say,left in there for 2days . The itty bitty slivers, are all crispy and brown. :-(
Great idea to dry that huge can of pineapple! I could save money on a large can but never use it up before it spoiled so now I have a way to save and make yummy food.
I have found that when dehydrating rice I make the rice ahead of time, put it in a container in the fridge a d let it get cold first, then put it on my dryer trays. It still clumps up but breaks apart a bit easier.
This is so old, I don't know if you will see the comment; but I tried a recipe the other day that used the juice from the pineapple can to cook the rice. I think it was about 1/2 the liquid. It was amazing.
Did you know, that the fan on these round Harvester/Nesco dehydrators doesn't create an evenly distributed airflow up through the stalks. Therefore it is beneficial to turn the entire stalk about 90 degrees about every hour. And of course with tall stacks of trays, rotating trays from top to bottom is essential to even drying. I do quite of bit of apple slices for eating/treats, and it is more important for edible treats to get even drying so not to "crisp-dry" the apple slices. I also found that soaking the apple slices overnight in the lemon water produces a more gummy/soft apple slice treat after dehydrating.
Hi Linda! Love your videos! It's helped me soooo much with dehydrating and meals in a jar! Thank you very much! My question is: I'm dehydrating canned pineapple chunks that i drained.....on 125 heat for over 24 hrs....and they are still a bit bendable, and not dropping like a rock like yours do on the video....Just dry longer?? Thanks for doing this for all of us! Karen from Texas
Hi Linda. Your videos are great. I am just learning to dehydrate and can food. You couldn't be more helpful. I am learning so much from you. I have been storing long grain white rice. If I cook it, can it be dehydrated too? I would like to start making my own meals in a jar to just add water.
Hi Linda. I have been thinking about making jelly and I wonder have ever made jelly using the juice from store bought canned fruit like pineapple or peaches. I think that jelly made from pineapple juice and jalapeno peppers would be awesome. Thank you, this is a great video.
Hello Linda, I'm new. Quick question, if you don't have the canning attachment for the food saver, how long does the dehydrated food keeps in the jars?
Hi Linda, it seems strange writing that name right now, My mother passed right at Christmas time and I was in California she being back home in Texas. My sister waited to tell me until Christmas day, Nice right? Any way I was looking at the # 10 cans of fruit you had there and was wondering can I or would I do the peaches and other fruits the same way as you did the pineapple? As for the rice I have some that is moist in a Mylar pouch this is the way it came. I have had it now about 1 1/2 years. Should I dehydrate it now in case it does not keep or leave it as it is? It is a brown rice with a couple things added into it.
We love the dehydrated fruit, haven't done pineapple but will now. Any idea how long the syrup from the fruit keeps? Nice touch adding the bonus recipe. yum
Is there any issue with storing brown rice for long term? Someone on another video said there are oils in it that make it less suitable for long term storage in mylar bags. I'm sure canning would be different.
Color Tree Creations I would like to know that also. I understand that brown rice is not good to have for long term food storage but was wondering if cooking the rice first would change that.
Folks, there is unsettling information about -- rice, and two points of contention -- GMO and contaminations of arsenic and other toxins. As far as we know at this time, the only rice that is not GMO comes from India. And this gets worse. All the rice grown in the USA is loaded with -- arsenic. Rice from other countries besides India must also be loaded with arsenic as there are profound concerns. You have to remove the arsenic before you cook and eat that rice. The big question is rice you want to store. Do you leave that rice as is and just store it dry, or do you remove the arsenic, dry the rice and store it -- or do you wait and remove the arsenic from measured amounts of rice you want to cook? There are problems all over the place with this situation. For example, if you cook and dehydrate the rice, two toxins form. It's bad stuff. If you just put it in storage as is in the bag, and it's there for a while, will you be able to successfully remove all the arsenic from really really hardened rice? Because of this mess, I am removing all the rice from our storage -- and kitchen pantry until the authorities do something about this situation.
Arsenic is found in the ground, Rice is grown in the ground. The levels of arsenic found in rice is insignificant. You don't have anything to worry about, if you are then you should remove any fish from your pantry sine there are levels of mercury found in fish.
long time after you did this but choko's mashed and soaked in the pine apple juice will create a huge amount of pineapple flavoured fruit rollups , chokos take on other tastes , look whats in mac D's apple pie ..
Linda, can one sprout brown rice then cook it to further process by dehydrating it for long term food storage? Will the nutrition remain high? Thank you.
I am new to your Channel I did not know you can cook the brown rice and then turn around and dehydrate. And I did not know you can do canned pineapples I got about seven big pineapples didn't know what to do I am so glad I came across your Channel thank you so very much for these videos I do a lot of canning but I did not know you could do that boy and I'm going to have fun to hydrate thank you so very much. And I'm wanting to know can you do the white rice that way
I'm new at this and would love to make meals in a jar. Before I begin I would like to know do you sterilize your jars,lids, & rings before adding your dehydrated goods? Btw I love your videos, you make it look so uncomplicated and easy to follow. Thanks for the wonderful info!
This is completely off base. By the way I just love all your videos you are a wealth of Knowledge. Where did you find the egg tree I am so looking for one ?
Hi Linda, Loved this video. I know what I'm doing this weekend. I have several large bags of rice that have been opened so I need to use them up. Would this help keep the bugs out of them. I don't have a food saver (yet) so I'm wondering if by dehydrating it, it would be safe from bugs in gallon jars. I'm curious because I had to throw out 3 gallon jugs of rice last year because of bugs. I now put bay leaves in all my storage and it has helped.
Hi Linda, Loved your video and had a question. I have a dehydrator but havent used it yet. I needed to know if you need to put something on the trys before putting your fruit on it? I afraid it wont work. And thanks for sharing the brown rice dehydrating it.. never thought about that. I am sharing with my daughter because she does brown rice. So if her and her husband hike she can care some of that and do a meal. Thanks
Hey, im trying to frozen dehydrate southern style hashbrowns...potatoe cubes..they seem to have oil on them...does the brand you purhase have oil on them and if so did they work out ok?thanks for ur videos !
Hello Linda! Thank you for all you do and all of your posts! I have a question about making the instant rice: Can this process be done with organic long grain wild rice? I'm trying to make some healthy changes and this is my preferred choice of rice. Any insights, hints, or outright answers are very welcome!
Hi Linda, I bought par-boiled rice. Does this mean it is partially cooked? I really don't know how to cook it and I bought it to make meals in a jar. Do you know how to cook parboiled rice? Thanks Bev
Fantastic I love the idea of the rice Linda. That pineapple looks awesome rehydrated also. How good is the rice after rehydrating it? Given its coked already, does it go really soft or crumbly? Can it hold up to say a stir fry?
I'm trying to figure out how you seal your jars and they end up with a regular lid. Any Food Saver or vacuum sealer that I've seen only uses their "special lid" with a hole in the top. I know I'm missing something and would love to hear how you use yours. Great videos - thanks!
Will that work for dehydrating white rice as well? Here in Hawaii everyone (other than me) eats white sticky rice with every meal. I'm trying to figure out a way to make dehydrated meals with the rice here.
I freeze the syrup into "ice cubes" and use it in my rum and coke or in my ice tea..
Hi Linda, I always buy fruit in 100% juice, and use the juice for making jellies, kinda like getting a 2 for 1 bargain....Blessings
Is 100% fruit juiced fruit hard for dehydrating though vesus the syrup infused?
I tried making jelly from fruit juice at least 3x and failed . Even when going back and trying to redo the batch it was a fail. I was only able to make jams with the juice AND pulp :-( .
Can you share a recipe ?
next time you want to do rice cook it put in frig. for a day and when you bring it out of ice box it will easily fall apart to dehydrate.
My local grocery store had fresh pineapple for $1 not long ago. I snapped them up! Diced it and put it in the dehydrator. It tastes SO good! Almost like candy. If you have fresh pineapple I would go with that vs. canned for flavor. I didnt have any left to rehydrate. My people ate it all!

You are so talented and sweet! i have learned so much from you thank you for sharing your knowledge!
I get such a giggle out of you "taste testing"everything for us. You are so sweet & your videos are very informative.
I love you for the instant rice idea.
When I drain the juice or syrup from cans, I freeze it into ice cube trays, once frozen product gets put in freezer bags for smoothies.
AWESOME idea !!!

Really enjoy you not only the dehydrating process, but what it looks like afterward, and when you rehydrate. Very helpful!
Thank you so much for all your knowledge. I love the variety of videos that you have on your channel.
Dehydrated pineapple is great with sugar sprinkled over it while it's still warm, yum!
I so love dehydrated pineapple!!!! Yum
Going to dehydrated my fresh pineapples 🍍 thank you for the tips.
Thank You, Linda 😀
I love your videos and my wonderful husband got me an excaliber for Christmas I love it
I have found that when dehydrating rice I make the rice ahead of time, put it in a container in the fridge a d let it get cold first, then put it on my dryer trays. It still clumps up but breaks apart a bit easier.
love your videos and ideas please keep them coming.
My new Excalibur is going to be here on Monday. SO EXCITED!!! This will be my first project. Already have pineapples!
Yea! I didn't know you taught dehydrating as well. I just bought one, but haven't tried it yet.
Love dehydrated pineapple! Such a great snack!!
Pro trick : watch series on flixzone. I've been using it for watching a lot of movies recently.
@Gianni Colson yea, I've been watching on Flixzone} for since november myself =)

AT Cherrio Oh good 🤗
I'm loving all your videos thus far, very interesting and informative, Thank you.
Hi Linda!! I'll bet that pineapple would have been tasty with the rice.
Thanks for all you do! :) ~Diane
Haha...I was just telling her while I was watching her taste them both, to put the pineapple in the rice! lol
You can use the pineapple juice to make homemade Hawaiian sweet bread.

Try drying grape tomatoes, its just like candy! Keep up the great videos!!
Outstanding, thanks for sharing. I will be dehydrating both very soon!
great way to make minute rice. Pineapple is a great snack.
I like how you show things rehydrated
I use fresh pineapples. .. no fructose corn syrup
Does fresh pineapple dehydrate ok?
Hi Linda! Love your videos! It's helped me soooo much with dehydrating and meals in a jar!
Thank you very much!

Great video! I want to try that! Thank you.
Fascinating! Never thought about doing rice like that. Going to the store to give it a try. I also like the pineapple. Thank you for the inspiration.
I love your dehydrator videos. I am testing my machine today. I have a feeling, a new one is in my future.
I like that idea!
This will be added to my pantry.
Hi Linda. Your videos are great. I am just learning to dehydrate and can food. You couldn't be more helpful. I am learning so much from you. I have been storing long grain white rice. If I cook it, can it be dehydrated too? I would like to start making my own meals in a jar to just add water.
I wanted to say thank you for all your great videos. I have cooked rice in the dehydrator right now. Keep em coming!
You are such a wonderful wealth of knowledge and beautiful, too. Love ya!
Mix the rice & pineapple together......yummy.
Hi Linda. I have been thinking about making jelly and I wonder have ever made jelly using the juice from store bought canned fruit like pineapple or peaches. I think that jelly made from pineapple juice and jalapeno peppers would be awesome. Thank you, this is a great video.
love this idea!! I'm going to try this!
Linda, I'm fairly new to your channel but you've inspired me to buy a dehydrator and I can't wait to get started.
Got me an excalibur dehydrator. Can't wait to use it.
Hello Linda, I'm new. Quick question, if you don't have the canning attachment for the food saver, how long does the dehydrated food keeps in the jars?
You can toss an O2 absorber in the jar for longer storage
Can you dehydrate sprouts? Alfalfa spouts, bean sprouts etc.....
I save my juice to use when I make hawaiian rolls! Sure love all your recipes Linda, never had a fail!
Fantastic video, thanks for sharing x
you could make pineapple juice ice cubes and put that into your lemonade.... yummmm

Where did you get that egg tree and how long can you store eggs on the counter like that?
We love the dehydrated fruit, haven't done pineapple but will now. Any idea how long the syrup from the fruit keeps? Nice touch adding the bonus recipe. yum
Could you "steam" the rice in a steamer instead of having it sit in hot water?
u need to add to your shelf life so us that are prepairing for a disaster has an idea . plus do you seal the jars... new to this
Pineapple is my favorite candy!
Is there any issue with storing brown rice for long term? Someone on another video said there are oils in it that make it less suitable for long term storage in mylar bags. I'm sure canning would be different.
First thing I'm buyin when I win the Lotto is us two chickies an Excalibur thingie, you betchya. Great job sistah
Looks delicious.
Will the brown rice last longer than the suggested 6 months since you cooked it before and then dehydrated it?
Color Tree Creations I would like to know that also. I understand that brown rice is not good to have for long term food storage but was wondering if cooking the rice first would change that.
I was wondering the same thing.
@@karenallen1730 Me as well, but several years later no answer......
VICTOR EOUS I suspect not much. It’s that brown rice contains some fat that causes rancidity and cooking probably wouldn’t remove much.
I Would think that if you’re using mylar bags and oxygen absorbers, it would work out perfectly and it would last for 20 years.
Always awesome
I just love ur videos keep it up plz

I think she received it as a gift
Love this ty for sharing. :)

I simply LOVE your videos. Thank you so much. You are amazing at this. Well done!
Make pineapple vinegar!! It is so good!!
Nice... Love it :)
Oh no! I'm late to the party and your wild tree link isn't there with the recipe. 😢. Love your shows. 🥰
If I buy can fruit I save the juice if it is juice and not syrup. I then can use it in pancakes or smoothies and also to make oatmeal.
Can you place the dehydrated food in vacuum sealed bags? Rather than jars and vacuuming out air?

You just need to wipe off the fan blades on the vertical dehydrator. Theres nothing to do with the age of it. Its just dirty blades reducing air flow.
Thanks for this information. I’ve watched many videos but have not heard this mentioned.
Linda where did you buy your lid opener trying to find one. Please thankyou
How many did you get from it?
I love your videos what is the kettle you are using called, do you have an amazon link for it?
What is the storage time on the rice and pineapple vacuum sealed please?
I haven't missed the recipe you were referring did I? I don't see anything posted yet that looks like it. Just making sure! :)
Curious whether the rice picks up pineapple flavor from the chunks?
Can you dehyrate pickle relish ?
thank you !!! question: can you use any kind of rice?
Can you use any kind of rice to make minute rice??
@@deanawade5878 I believe you can.
Yes and you can pre-cook pasta also and then dehydrated and it becomes so much faster and you use less fuel to recook
Should pineapple be hard or soft and chewy when it's done?
thank you
Will that work for dehydrating white rice as well? Here in Hawaii everyone (other than me) eats white sticky rice with every meal. I'm trying to figure out a way to make dehydrated meals with the rice here.
When you use the vacuum, how long does the pineapple last?
What do you do w the rice to relate later. I’ve got LOTS of rice in storage and would love to do this!
