At least once a week after breakfast and before we get started with school, the girls will have a blast with a dehydrating project! They love to dehydrate fruit for their snacks. Here are some of their favorites. They are much cheaper to make at home than the ones you buy in the stores ~ an added plus to home dehydration is the fruits don't have the sulfur preservatives!

MANGO - peel, slice thin and dehydrate

APPLE - peel, core, slice thin and dehydrate

PINEAPPLE - peel, core, slice thin and dehydrate

BANANA - peel, slice thin, soak for a few moments in lemon juice and dehydrate. The lemon juice helps keep the chips from discoloring and it makes the banana chips taste like they have been dipped in honey! DELICIOUS!

FRUIT LEATHER / FRUIT ROLL-UP - we make our own on the dehydrator sheet using homemade Pear Butter, Peach Butter, Apple Butter or Applesauce.
