It’s Autumn, Here’s How to Dry Apples, Persimmons, Pears and other Fruit, Kale, Beef Jerky, etc etc

re: persimmon

It’s autumn, and maybe you or your neighbors/friends have your own fruit tree(s) and/or a readily available supply at the local farmer’s market or similar.

Excalibur Food Dehydrator 9-Tray

My persimmon tree is about 1/20 harvested, and that means about 100 pounds so far, only about a ton to go. I cannot possibly use all this bounty, but I preserve some at least since I hate to see it just drop and rot.

How to Make Dried Persimmons

Whether it is persimmons, apples, pears, oranges, kale, beef jerky, or squirrel, it’s fast and easy to preserve food that will last up to a year (the more dry the finished product, the longer it will last).

How to Make Healthy Beef Jerky or Bison Jerky

I recommend pacing yourself on dried fruit due to its high fructose content*, but it’s hard to resist these dried persimmons, so do as I say, not as I sometimes do!

The $271 Excalibur 9-tray @AMAZON is the dryer to get—I have two of them and they have given me over 20 years of reliable service:
