Eat Veggies, save the planet

With the drought in Texas the Stonewall peach crop was about half the size as normal and the peaches were smaller. But they are sssswwwweeeeettttt. Vogel Orchard won’t sell 1/2 bushels of number ones so I bought a half bushel of seconds and decided to try drying them in my dehydrator. that my son gave(lent) me.

1. I put on a pot of boil and dipped the peaches in for one second to wash them.
2. Next, I cut them in half and removed the pits.
3. Then I sliced them in 1/4″ slices.
4. I let the slices sit in a bowl of pineapple juice for a couple minutes. You can use ascorbic acid water or lemon juice water also.
5. Next I put them on the screens that came with the dehydrator.
6. I set the dehydrator at 135 degrees, turned it on and set it for 14 hours.
7. I checked it after 10 hours and the peaches looked ready.
8. You can tell if they are ready if you break one in half and no moisture appears.
