Looking to extend your food preservation skills beyond canning? On this week’s episode of the Perfectly Preserved Podcast, we tell you everything you need to know about dehydrating food at home. Dehydrating food is sometimes the best method of food preservation, not to mention it’s easy and fun! 

We teach you how the dehydrating process preserves foods and when dehydrating is best. Additionally, you’ll learn about various methods for dehydrating food, safety measures to ensure that your dehydrated food is preserved properly, and best practices for preserving flavor and color. We also share how to dehydrate our favorite foods, including fruit, jerky, herbs, and fruit roll-ups.
