So nice to find a channel that isn’t pushing freeze drying. It’s fine, and many of them got theirs free as an affiliate company, but I don’t have a huge garden or they kind of money to invest. Thank you for the dehydration method vlog. Love it, ❤️
Thank you for a video about dehydrating. So many YT creators have freeze driers now, there is rarely a video on dehydrating your harvest, and it's one of my favorite preservation methods. Yours all turned out great! Really enjoyed this. Thanks again and have a great weekend! It's going to be a hot one around here.
Thank you! Yes freeze drying has become very popular, while I’d love to have a freeze dryer they aren’t accessible for most people. I hope you enjoy your weekend as well! I appreciate your kind comments & support.
Great vidio love your twist on home preservation, love its not the main stream diet of canning. You give me heaps for new ideas. Thank you keep the vidios coming.
Loved this! I was excited to see some dehydration ideas! Before this video even ended, I went to the garden and picked parsley, basil and sage and made the herb salt. Wow! What an aroma! So nice! I sent a pic to my daughter wishing I could also text her the smell! 😅 I am also a fan of mint tea so I also picked some mint and lemon balm to make my own. Thank you for not freeze drying anything!! ❤
I love that Deborah! Thank you for sharing 🤍 No freeze dryer over here, and while it would be nice to have it’s not in the budget for us, and I know that’s the same for many people!
I have a sort of bakers rack so I lay paper towels on the racks and lay my herbs out on them. It only takes a few days for them to be completely dry. That way I can use my dehydrator for other things. Lemon Balm tea is my absolute favorite tea
I made fruit leather last year when I had a lot of fruit that needed to be used. I used 13 peaches, 1-5-6pound watermelon, sugar and lemon juice. Did it to taste. It turned out so good. Didn't even last a week😂
I was recently inspired by your channel to try pressure canning meals in a jar. We’ve found them so convenient that I looked for more. You might be interested in the book “Pressure Canning for Beginners and Beyond” by Angi Schneider there are some more meals in a jar recipes and another hummus recipe!
Do you ever get “cross contamination” of flavors when having multiple types of things in the dehydrator at once? I’m still pretty new to food preservation, so I haven’t been brave enough to combine things, but I also hate running it without every tray full. The exception was when I did green onions, ginger, and garlic together, but that was all going into a chili oil mix I was making anyway. I have dehydrated cucumber that I am excited to try in tzatziki mix too! I still need to do dill, shallot, and mint.
I do try to avoid combining things like garlic onions and hot peppers in a dehydrator with other items. I haven’t had an issue with doing a variety of herbs etc or more mild flavored vegetables in one dehydrator. I hear you, I also don’t like to run it empty. If I’m doing fruit I’ll do only fruit :)
I love my dehydrator. ❤ I don’t know why, but I find it so satisfying. And it all looks so beautiful on the shelf. I make tarragon salt. I love it on chicken. I think I will make your green salt as well this year. That would be nice on eggs and in dips and soups❤❤
@@maryegerton6848 Oh a tarragon salt sounds perfect for chicken. I’ll have to add that to my list for this year! Thanks for sharing. I agree, the jars do look so pretty on the shelf.
Hello Abbey, the herb salt is a delicious color; i have some ideas for its use. Could the zucchini be rehydrated and used in zucchini bread; it would be fantastic when the snow flys.
Hello! Isn’t it a nice color. Yes the zucchini can be rehydrated and used in zucchini bread, that is another way we will use it :) Thanks for watching!
I don’t find it does in this case. I find herbs are usually fine. The onion tops are mild enough. I do avoid dehydrating onions, hot peppers, garlic etc with other items and I always do fruit separately
Hello Abbey, could you show a good method to can hot banana peppers for the long term, my family would USA vinegar, salt, sugar, water, and a clove of garlic in the jar. I lost the recipe. Thank you for all you do.
Hello! I plan to in next weeks video or the week after. The recipe I use for pickled peppers is online if you search ball hot peppers recipe. It is vinegar, water and garlic. I don’t typically add sugar but you could! I use that recipe for banana peppers and jalapeños or mixed peppers.

Thank you Linda! I understand. While a freeze dryer would be great to have, they are very costly and not accessible for most.
"Preserving the Harvest" would be a good name for your channel.

I also use extra zucchini into cake/breads that we freeze, love how moist it makes cakes.
We love zucchini bread or muffins! They work great with frozen or dehydrated shredded zucchini
@@abbeyverigin I've never used dehydrated zucchini, do you add applesauce or something else to keep them moist?
@@terrihasstedt5855 not typically. I will just rehydrate the zucchini in warm water, squeeze out the excess water and then use as I would fresh

Zucchini Relish is a great canning recipe, we use on hot dogs, but also mixed with mayonnaise makes a great tarter sauce for fish tacos.
We love zucchini relish! That’s on my to do list. Hadn’t thought to use it with mayonnaise as a tartar sauce, we will have to try that.

That sounds like a great setup! It is one of my favorites as well :) thank you for watching!
Just recently heard of some people making cucumber chips in their dehydrator. Thought of giving that a try. Love your channel.
Thank you! I’ve heard of this too. I’m curious about them!
I made fruit leather last year when I had a lot of fruit that needed to be used.

That’s the problem with it, it’s so good it doesn’t last 🤣
Thanks, love to dehydrate as I cannot afford a freeze drier. I use a salad spinner on my herbs to get out the extra water...also the celery tops.
Yes they aren’t in the budget for most! I agree, a salad spinner helps so much for herbs. Ours broke and I really need to order a new one.
i was just thinking this week about making some celery salt. guess great minds do work together. lol. enjoy your videos very much.
Thank you Nancy!
Terrific video! Thank you!
Thank you for watching!
Great video
Thank you Cindy!
Great information
Thank you 🤍🤍

Aren’t they convenient! I actually purchased that book recently. I have yet to try any of the recipes, have you?
@@abbeyverigin not yet, I just bought it yesterday I’m working on your hummus today but I might try the teriyaki chicken tomorrow!
@@lisachambers905 enjoy! Teriyaki chicken sounds like something I need to add to my pantry

QUESTION: Will dehydrating a variety of things at once (in one macine) affect the flavor? Will did mint or onion over-take the rest?
I don’t find it does in this case. I find herbs are usually fine. The onion tops are mild enough. I do avoid dehydrating onions, hot peppers, garlic etc with other items and I always do fruit separately

Do you dry the lemon balm leaves prior to making a tincture? Or can you use them straight from picking and washing without drying first?
For tinctures you don’t need to dry them :)
