Dehydrate Cucumbers And Make Powder Too Recipes

DEHYDRATE CUCUMBERS AND MAKE POWDER TOO!

Steps:

• This recipe is for any amount of cucumbers that you want to dehydrate. It is very simple and easy to dehydrate cucumbers. Wash, dry, and slice your cucumbers and place them on your dehydrator racks. No chemicals, no blanching, nothing to do but slice them. This is an easy way to use up excess cucumbers in your garden or your refrigerator. They are yummy to munch on or add to a fresh garden salad. I set my Excalibur Dehydrator set at 125 degrees. **with the humidity today it took about 4 hours to dehydrate them. The dehydrating time will always depend on the humidity in the room where you are drying them. Dry them until they are leathery.
