>>>Did someone mention powdered spaghetti sauce? Is that done with the dehydrator?<<<

That was netmilsmom

>>>I’ll teach my girls the joy of fruit leather and powdered spaghetti sauce. (geez, I nearly forgot about that!)<<<

I would be interested in that too... Wonder if it can be done and have the more mellow simmered flavor?

I know the powder works in sauces and salad dressings.

Fruit leathers are so easy! Just blend the fruit then spread it on a screen in the dehydrator. Watch it until it becomes leathery. Most dehydrators come with instructions for fruit leather. They can be made in the oven as well but they don’t turn out as well.

Spaghetti Sauce in the food dehydrator starts with your sauce as if you were going to can it.

Use a screen in the processor as you would for fruit leather. Only really dry it, like hard. The dryer the better.

Then crunch it up or hammer it to small pieces (between wax paper). Throw it into a coffee bean grinder or mill until it’s powder. Airtight jars and it keeps for a long time.

To rehydrate, boil water and add the powder to the desired thickness. It’s actually pretty good. You can put in different spices too (as you are making your sauce). Depending on whether you want Italian or a Mexican spice for chili.

Did you see that Netmilsmom, posted the instructions for the dried Spag. sauce, should be on this page.
