Methods to preserve food

There are three main methods I use to preserve food.

  1. Canning
  2. Freezing
  3. Dehydrating or drying
  • This page is where I share the links to all of my dehydrating food recipes.

Dehydrating Food

Dehydrating or drying food is a great way to preserve fresh food for long term storage.

Once the moisture has been removed from fruits, vegetables, and some meats they can be stored for months or in some cases years if stored properly. Removing the moisture allows for long term storage.

Dehydrated food shrinks to half the size of fresh allowing you to store pounds of fresh food in jars or plastic bags requiring much less storage space.

For example, 5 pounds of fresh carrots that have been peeled and sliced will fit in two mason jars.

Home Gardeners

If you have a home garden food dehydrating is a great way to make sure all of your hard work doesn't go to waste.

Dehydrate the surplus homegrown fruits, vegetables, and fresh herbs so you can pack your pantry full during the growing season.

Dehydrating fruits is a great way to preserve your favorite fresh fruits so you can enjoy dry fruit as a snack or add them to all of your recipes.

Buying fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs to dry

Rehydrated vegetables can be cooked the same as if they were freshly purchased.

Fresh fruits can be eaten as snacks or added to other recipes.
