Well ladies I did dry a can in the food dehydrator and they came out looking like little peices of orange cellophane. At first we didn't like the taste cuz they were a little tart but I do think I'll try it again just to give my fruit snacks a little color. My family did like them the more we nibbled, and I think it will be a fun taste surprise.

how sweet it is to love some one, how right itis to care

I love the food dehydrator. I dont have one yet, but growing up my dad had one and i think he tried to dry almost anything possible. Some were good, (fruit leather), and some were... You, really shouldnt have dad. :)

I have purchased dried mandarin oranges before and I LOVED them! They were wonderful. But I think they started out with fresh oranges instead of canned ones. I never even thought of drying canned fruit. What a great idea!

Claudia, I love my dehydrator, I dry almost everything and rarely have a problem. I love the electric one, years ago I dried everything on screens outside. This year my Christmas gifts will be dried onions and a herb blend, plus an assortment of fruits.

How do you feel about drying onions in your dehydrator? Does it stink up the house? I dry my stuff in the garage because I don't need the heat.
