I've always wanted to acquire and use a food dehydrator, but it's a whole new learning curve... I've been canning for so many years, it's hard to change gears (also, I don't think you can do jams and jellies in a dehydrator). Canning is, however, stupid-easy, especially if you stick to boiling water bath canning for high-acid foods. Seriously: peel and core pears, stuff them into jars, fill the jars with sugar-water, put on lids, and boil the jars for a while. I hope that next season I'll be blogging new-found insights into food dehydration. Anthony: I know what you mean.

Fear of the unknown, I guess. Nice blog, I'll bookmark it for future reference. :) I’ve always wanted to try canning but I usually break out the food dehydrator at the end of the season.
