It's fabulous. All of the recipes are crafted with a mind to backpacking; I've used a lot of them just regular camping. But there is also extensive information on dehydrating food, and different methods to help with preservation. Plus, it's just an interesting read. <em>I always love a good read! I will look for it today at the library -- I hope they have it! Thanks for sharing, Karen. I'm back to say that the library doesn't have it! :( I looked at the online catalog. I'll watch for it though at the bookstore where I shop for used books. </em> You probably may not want/need another book on dehydrating food, but I use this one: The Hungry Hiker’s Book of Good Cooking.

I always love a good read! I will look for it today at the library — I hope they have it! Thanks for sharing, Karen.

Wonderful! Produce here is, well.... lousy. Because of the drought. Perhaps we will get some lettuces and fall veggies going now that the rain has come. I have dried pears before, but when I dry them at that temperature I find that I have to store them in the freezer, perhaps that's because we live in such a warm area, don't know. What all do you do with the dried pears? <em>Sylvia, I've never had an abundance like this to dehydrate before. I was planning to store them in the freezer. I do that will all dried fruit as a measure of protection. We will eat them as snacks in the off-season. I'm sorry the drought has affected your growing season. That is frustrating. And prices are so high to buy elsewhere. I am totally relying on awesome deals and the gifts of blessed gardeners until we can grow our own goodies. </em> What a glorious abundance God has blessed you with! Wonderful!
