Susan Jane,

What sort of dryer system have you? Homemade or ?  I have two very full
freezers now, no room for the expected leftovers from this summer's canning.
I've long thought dehydrating was the better way to go (in addition to
canning), no electric issues to deal with once it's dry and stored.

Thanks.

Lisa
