    If you add a tsp. of baking soda to the blanching water, the green is beautiful! Saw this hint in an old cookbook!

    I grow celery just for the leaves for dehydrating. This year, because we have rabbits in the 'hood...I grew them in planters on my back deck and it worked very well. I dehydrate the leaves on the fruits/veg setting. When it's dried and cooled, I rub it through a wire sieve to remove stems. Using kitchen shears gets them off the tough garden grown stalks really quick and easy. I just snip the leaves off the stem and into the big colander to wash them.

    Bev, thank you once again for great info! I grew LOTS of celery this year. I too dehydrate lots of celery. This year we were almost, almost , getting tired of eating fresh. I have my youngest niece(who lives with us) in college and she raided my pantry to take to college with her girl friends. They were so amazed with what you can do with all the dehydrated foods. The next generation learning! I love it!! Also have a niece who lives in Manhattan New York and they have NO storage space. When she comes home she gives me a list of things she needs for her pantry. Of course, I take care of her "order". Love this!! Love you!!!!!!!!!

    I'm glad you made this Sweetheart. I bought that very dehydrator. I did some zucchini and potatoes. I blanched both but I'm sure I sliced them too thick. The potatoes actually have dark spots. I'm gonna use both in a cheesy casserole and try it again. I need to look back on your dehydrating videos. Thanx Bev.

  • @teriyoung8922
    @teriyoung8922 7 років тому +1

    Hey Mrs. V. Thanks for redoing this video - I had forgotten the dehydrating option. My kids are getting to the age where they aren't always home for supper, and now the middle one is off to University, so a bunch of celery in the fridge often goes bad before I can use it. This drying reminder is great as I can just take half of the celery when I get home from the store and dry it right away - rather than pulling out the big pressure canner to do 6 bunches, I can just do a little bit! ;-)
    You taught us how to CAN celery a few years ago and hey-doodle that has been so useful - I can in 1/2 pint jars usually, but sometimes pints - very helpful if I am making a soup or stew, and I use the liquid as part of my soup broth. YUM.

    I just scored 12 stalks at 50¢ each. And wanted to store them somehow. I impulse bought a 10 tray stainless excalibur a few months ago for jerky. And now I have another use for it. I didn't know if blanching was needed to help maintain the texture. This helped me. Thanks.

    You can save the root end, rest it in a little water till it grows some roots. Plunk it in a little pot in a sunny window. It will grow more leaves. I even planted one in my garden this year. Works great. Thanks for the video, I will be drying my celery this year

    i just did two big bags from costco - the lazy-ass pre-cut/washed stuff... two big bags dehydrated was just maybe about 1/3 of a quart mason jar... mostly water!! i use the dehydrater most of the way, then once it's mostly dry i put it in a colander on the black tablecloth out in the sun, covered with a tea towel to dry it the rest of the way

    I am going to dehydrate celery today so I looked up your video. I knew tour's would explain well. Didn't realize that it would be so small when finished. I'm going to teach a dehydrating class in September to my Master Gardener group. Thanks

  • @NolaGB

    Blanch it ... that's what I did wrong!!! Thank you!!!!! The slices look to be about a quarter inch thick. I tried thinner, but they turned very, very tiny ... super tiny, but I didn't know to blanch them, now I do. Thank you!!! Subscribed. I use the root end of a bunch placed in soil to regrow it.

Don't you just love how much you can get in each jar...Thanks for sharing this...

    Hello from Prince Edward Island!, I just discovered your channel. I had the same issue with celery, didn't blanch first. I grew Tango a few years back and had quite a bit, unfortunately I didn't blanch and it all turned out rubbery. Wakefield, I do believe there was a train station there. I lived in Aylmer for seven years, fond memories of that area

    I live alone and my produce kept going bad on me. Celery and peppers just don't last. My yellow squash turned to liquid. Nasty !!! I cannot eat it all before it expires. So I got a dehydrator. Now I can dry produce before it spoils and add it to soups. Right now I am doing celery as my first time. I love to cook so this should be fun! It is work but I enjoy cooking. I was a cook at the nursing home. Thanks for teaching me.

    Hi Mrs. Volfie. First I must say how much I love your channel. Second I have a question about storing dehydrated food. Some of my food, ie: berries, tomatoes, onions are crispy dry when I first put them into sealer jars. But over a few weeks I find that they go from crispy to leathery even though they are tightly sealed. I don't have money to buy oxygen absorbers or silica packs. Can you give me some tips for long term storage of these items? Will a jar sealer for my food saver solve this problem? Thank you in advance.
