The dehydrator is preserving some of our harvest. The wax beans are producing more than we can eat in a setting or even two. So, it was time to put the dehydrator to work.

Steam blanch or water blanch, cool and into the dehydrator they go.
The cabbage is also doing very well. And before they split, they need to be eaten, shared and put by. I still have some sauerkraut from last year so don't need to make more at this time. We have eaten sauteed cabbage at many meals and will continue to do so. Have shared many heads with family and neighbors, and there is still more coming... So, it is time to dehydrate some for soups this winter.
As with the beans, steam or water blanch, cool, and into the dehydrator.
I had one tray still empty, so I roughly chopped some parsley to complete the load.
These will all be used and enjoyed this winter when the winter winds blow, and the garden is covered with a blanket of snow.
I hope you too are harvesting the bounty of the season.
