My mother owned a dehydrator and when she passed away, I got it.  It was a godsend.  I enjoyed the various things I could do with it as well as the fruit and veges I got.  It does make the fruit and veges more concentrated and boy does it bring out the flavours.  Experimenting with different juices and honey etc, adds different flavours.  You can also make cheese crackers and potato chips.  Okay they are not the same as shop bought, but the good thing is that the homemade stuff has no additives, preservatives or any other chemically made addition as shop bought does.  Thus healthier foods for healthy lives.

My son loves his dried fruit but it does get expensive sometimes

Great idea.

I have a dehydrator and anytime we have excess fruit we chop it up and dehydrate it. The machine also allows you to make roll ups, like the ones you can buy in the supermarkets that are full of sugars!!!  Pureed berries are ideal for this and there is no added sugars or any other ingrediants. I got my machine from the local electrical store around 10 years ago for $150 and its a dream.

Now why didnt i think of writing this advice, lol, its the simple things i never think of. Well done madonna :)
