YAY! Welcome. If you ever get the urge to canoe on Lake Champlain come visit Ed and I in Vermont! There could be much music, much canoeing, much sitting around reading companionably at night... (smile)
And - how do you dry peaches etc? Just in the oven or with some special equipment? I'd especially love to learn to make "fruit leather" because the kids love it as much as candy but the organic, no sugar added type is bloody expensive.
I'd love to come see you and Ed sometime. I've been drying peaches and making fruit leather with a food dehydrator--there's more about it in some of the comments in subsequent posts (yesterday's and I'm going to post something about it today). Last I heard you and Ed were living in a camper and storage space for one would be a serious issue in a place like that. Not to mention you need a good electrical connection to run it; mine has a 1 kW heater.
Peach fruit leather works fine with no extra sugar (in fact, I add a little lemon juice sometimes to get the blender blending properly). Haven't tried other fruits yet.
