1. Great idea to dehydrate the berries. Put them in cereal or oatmeal and the grandkids love them. Also use them to flavor cough syrups. Yummy on ice cream and in lemonaide.

2. I have been canning for a while but in the last year have cut the sugar out of our diet and increased the vegitible, fruit & bean intake. What kind of dehydrator do you use – I would be interested in doing that with our figs, blueberries and blackberries next year.
   Thank you for sharing.

3. Ditto with blueberries, but be careful–too dry and they become little “clinkers”. good slingshot ammo..

4. CORD7 I use a Norwalk dehydrator that I inherited from my parents. I haven’t dehydrated raspberries but it has worked great with other things I’ve dehydrated (apricots, peppers, and strawberries). Like the author says, it works best to move the trays around while it is running, because the top trays dry faster than the bottom trays.

5. Harvest Maid makes an excellent dryer. I have been drying since 1984. The dried food keeps beautifully and no risk of botulism.

   Just remember to store cool, dark, and dry in well sealed containers.
