Dehydrator - Donna- using microwave

[Guest guest]

Yes, you can make banana chips in the dehydrator. I am slso close

to the ocean in CA and I would not attempt to do fruit and veggies

air dried. If you want to know more, join the dehydrator group. You

can go " no mail " and just glean what info that you want.

Regarding canning. I used to do a lot of canning when my kids were

small. We had a lot of fruit trees and made all of my jam and

canned fruits, made pickles etc. I can't eat sugar and my husband

does not eat much jam etc so no longer do this. My kids are alive

so guess I did not poisen anyone. I used to make apricot jam and

give it to my friends at Christmas in the french jars. Thee are not

put in a water bath but have a layer of wax on top to keep them

safe. My friends were returning my jars - hoping that I would re-

full them!!! I put a little apricot brandy in them,so no wonder they

were happy!!! One year I made what was supposed to be apricot wine

and turned out to be an apricot brandy. Never could recreat this

one! LOL We have a very old house with no foundation and it called

for putting the jugs under the house for x number of days, weeks?

 

One thing that I was wondering, I see you and others using the

microwave. One thing that I have learned with my research on my

cancer is that microwaving destroys nutrients in vegetables, so it

kind of " blows me away " that such a health conciencious group would

use a microwave. Mine does not get any use anymore. When I had my

kitchen remodeled I had the microwave built in. When it dies I will

not replace it. Anyone wanting more info on this can find it on the

web or a group called " cancer cured " . A lot of good info for those

that do not have cancer but just want to cure other things such as

diabetis (spelled wrong) etc, or just more aware of what is healthy.

I actually thank God for my cancer in that I have learned so much

about food and healthy eating that I can pass on to my children and

to my granddaughter to hopefully lead them to a disease free life.

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL- May you all be healthy and happy for this

coming year and for always. Patricia
