Dried zucchini chips! Another great sounding idea. For some reason, I just can’t seem to get into canning, but all thse drying ideas-fruits, veggies, jerky and trail mix are great survival items as well as money saving ideas.

>>>I just can’t seem to get into canning,<<<

I will probably only can about 35-40 cases this year. Apple sauce, limas, corn, chili, spaghetti sauce, string beans, wax beans and apple pie filling along with a bunch of peaches and any meat that comes along. I am getting a backlog of pickles, beets, tomatoes, peas, & squash, so have planted more root crops this year. Sweet potatoes, white potatoes, red potatoes, turnips. I have quite a few pumpkins planted, and butternut squash planted too.

The other day, as I was clearing out some storage space, I found a box that had been sitting there for about 15 years.(Yes, I am a pack-rat) I opened it and found my old dehydrator! I remember that I couldn’t find it so I wound up buying another, then this year when I found and bought the $6.99 one, I now have 3. So, this must be the year to dehydrate everything in sight.
