For Father’s Day this year, Bryan invited his family over for an early dinner at our house. I had to work, unfortunately, so I was not able to attend, but we apparently had a house full of family & friends to celebrate fatherhood. Just doing a quick count in my head, I believe we had a good dozen people over! Each person brought food with them, so we had quite the spread: stroganoff, garlic bread, salad, fruit, rhubarb crisp, and a huge pan full of watermelon slices!
I got home
just in time to sample the food and give a quick hug to everyone before they
headed on back to their homes. Almost all of them left food behind, so we have
a refrigerator full now.
So, instead
of letting that huge pan of watermelon go bad before we can eat it all, I
decided to do an experiment! I dehydrated it!
At first, I set my dehydrator to 145 degrees and 18 hours, but once that was up, I set it for another 10 hours. Those slices were pretty thick…
But I must say – I love the results! Tasty little triangles of watermelon jerky just perfect for taking on hikes!
