Something else to add to my list of “Must Do’s”! I know I have a jar of unsweetened applesauce that’s yelling for me!😂 You make my life busier, but it’s so much fun! Thank you for all your expertise and for being my dehydrating guru! You’re very appreciated! ❤️
I'm so glad I've found your channel! I've been binge watching. I've had my dehydrator for years, but I've never really "used" it. So far, I've done eggs, celery, and just as an experiment, I've got oatmeal in it this morning. Thank you for explaining things so well, and giving me the courage to use my dehydrator the way it can be used.
I also add some pureed lentils or other protein rich legume and some dehydrated green powder mix. These two ingredients make the fruit leather healthier. They are so tasteless that the family will not realize that they are eating a healthier snack.
😮 I needed snacks for work and I have PLENTY of unsweetened applesauce and other fruits/jams so I guess I’m firing up the dehydrator! Yay! Free snacks. 🥰
Classic Darci! Brilliant yet simple and affordable. Thank you! I use a little liquid pectin to keep mine pliable, but you don't seem to need it. Maybe it's because I start with fresh and frozen instead of canned? I should try this!
This is funny cuz I saw several cans of apples sauce in the pantry of a friend I gave it to months ago and they haven't used. I was wondering if I couldn't make them into fruit leathers and then you droppped this video! LOL
We don't store them for long - they are meant to be eaten. But can be stored for about a year - choose the way to store that works best for you. In a roll full size, in smaller rolls for serving sizes, in chunks, etc. And yes, in an airtight container - whether it's a mason jar or other airtight container.
Do you mean those plastic trays? I would put something on top of them -- parchment paper or even plastic wrap. If you want to add honey, you can, but it's not necessary - applesauce (even unsweetened) is already very sweet.
You saw me use really watery applesauce and dry it and how it turned out. Yes, you can, but you'll likely lose a lot of the applesauce in the process. I did mention putting it on the stovetop to reduce it a little.

I definitely need to try this out for my son! He loves fruit leathers and now I can make them from home! Thank you! ❤
You are so welcome!

WOW! This is a whole new world to me and I am amazed at all the things I can do with my new dehydrator. Fantastic video, thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!

This is awesome. I can't wait to try this with my grandkids! Thank you for a great idea!❤
You are so welcome!
Another AWESOME lesson! Thanks Darcie!
frozen fruits are great to puree and make leather too.
I want to make all the fruit leather now!!!
Such a great simple way to make fruit leather. So glad I found your channel love learning new ideas.
Great use for the tea ball.

Fruit leather wahooo! My grandchildren love this! And creative ideas like this are always helpful!❤
So glad!
@@ThePurposefulPantry Darcy, me too! I hope your Thanksgiving is filled with memories that hug your heart! ❤️
Such a great idea! I have a few jars of jam that didn’t set up and this is a great way to use them. Thanks Darcy!
Me too. Kiwi! 😋. Need those jars back anyway, lol. I have been using it in overnight oats but this sounds awesome!
I like fruit leather. My favorite thing to dehydrate thus far.
Great video, I wouldn't have ever thought of this. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
This is so interesting and EZ. Awesome Sauce! 😂 Thanks so much.
I absolutely love and adore you videos and learn so much ❤ from 🏴👍
I wish I had taste-o-vision!
Thanks for your never ending passion.
Thank You.
Thanks for sharing!
Okay. Heres me adding to my list over here! Lol Didnt see any i didnt like 😊 Thank you!
Hope you like it!
I love these!! ❤

I'm using applesauce - it has all the pectin built in ;)
Gives me some good ideas! Now I can buy up canned fruit when it's on sale that I normally don't eat, and make it yummy! Thank you!
Hope you enjoy
I'll try to remember to update you on my creations. I currently don't eat enough fruit because it's not portable.
I am gona try this next. Thank you for the tips.
So many wonderful ideas. Love all the things I'm learning.
So glad!

Very informative. Thank you!

Fantastic!

How long can you store these? And do you store them rolled up and placed in a Mason jar on a shelf in the pantry? Thank you.
We don't store them for long - they are meant to be eaten. But can be stored for about a year - choose the way to store that works best for you. In a roll full size, in smaller rolls for serving sizes, in chunks, etc. And yes, in an airtight container - whether it's a mason jar or other airtight container.
Thanks so much! I know you said you can store in a jar but do you vacuum seal? How long is this shelf stable in your opinion? TIA
Not more than a year - they aren't worth storing for long-term to me. Eat them and enjoy them ;)
Hi Darcy, can I use peanut butter mixed in applesauce and dehydrate that together? Thank you so much for sharing so much with us!!!
No, but you can use peanut butter powder.
@@ThePurposefulPantry do you have a video on how to make the pb powder? I’m happy I asked because I was sure about to mix a batch up. lol
You can't - it something to purchase.
I dried apples slices for pies now how do I use them?? I'm very new at this thank you
Rehydrate them and then cook with them as you would have before.
Marcie how long does dehydrated potatoes last. I have them in Mason jars & the jars have been vacuum sealed?
Optimally dehydrated foods are good for about 2 years (give or take a lot of variables), but potatoes are ones that are good about five years.
Where did you get the little spoon you were using to get the jam out?

If I have the flat round trays for dehydrating do I need to prep them ???? Can I add honey to sweeten it ?????
Do you mean those plastic trays? I would put something on top of them -- parchment paper or even plastic wrap. If you want to add honey, you can, but it's not necessary - applesauce (even unsweetened) is already very sweet.
Some jarred applesauce is very watery. Can I just put applesauce in a strainer to get rid of so much liquid before dehydrating?
You saw me use really watery applesauce and dry it and how it turned out. Yes, you can, but you'll likely lose a lot of the applesauce in the process. I did mention putting it on the stovetop to reduce it a little.
Who doest like fruit cocktail?
Me!
