Dehydrated Food Recipes

Baby Food
If you have a baby at home, the best way to store long term food for him or her is to make your own baby food for pennies on the dollar. Dried fruits and vegetables make this super easy. Use 1 part dried product and 2 parts warm water. Let sit for at 20-30 minutes. Drain off any excess liquid, puree.
Pumpkin Leather
2 cups fresh-cooked pumpkin purée or canned
