Misc Dehydrated Watermelon

[turtlegent]

Cleaning up after the garden. we got a bit creative with the scraps. Wow, we had never thought of dehydrating watermelon. Dehydrated watermelon is like candy. We just have to decide whether to wrap them like candy, or jar them? Another new thing for us was tomato skins, the sauce is great, but the chickens get the skins. We have dried the skins with parmesan and Italian seasoning, they are like crunchy tomato crackers, my wife has made me hide the supply from her. After all this we have been making green tomato pickles, we have a wheelbarrow of them to work through. We have made refrigerator pickles and canned pickles out of them. This year we juiced all the damaged, holy apples.

Yum. It is so good. I have to hide it from my son. Try salting a batch.

You think dehydrating watermelon is good ... try freeze drying it. Wow. And @kyrsyan is right, try salting a batch, just use a light hand as everything gets concentrated.

On apples, you can use a little jello powder to coat them, again just use a light hand until you find the flavor that suits you best.

I make watermelon popsicles... pureed melon, a little lemon or lime juice and a bit of honey. Have to hide them from the kids!
