Sun-dried zucchini

put 3 pallets (was 2342 g. net weight of zucchini).

I have almost the same, 2.326 kg., Which means I can't count on more than 3 pallets ...

Tanya, did I understand correctly, is the highest temperature in Isidri suitable for zucchini?

Average temperature is not good here?

Tanya, but on what mode is it better to dry the pumpkin, can you tell me?

I keep forgetting when, what temperature is preferable ...

[Inna]

Innawho are you calling?

I can answer this way: everything is according to the circumstances! Depends on the moisture content of the vegetables and fruits themselves, how much the trays are loaded, what is the weather outside ... and so on ...

If the apples and pears are dry, they will dry out perfectly even at a lower T *
If the same pears are very sweet and juicy, they have a lot of juice, then it is better to first remove excess moisture faster, and give a higher T * for a start, and then lower T * and dry it.

There are situations when trays need to be interchanged, choosing places in the dryer where the airflow is more intense, this will also allow for better drying.

In general: look for and find the optimal drying option, specifically for your conditions of communication with your dryer - you just need to watch and observe the process carefully and SEE!

[Tanechka]

who are you calling?

Well, actually, to the owner of the topic, to whom else, no matter how to her ...

and SEE

Yes, my eyesight is not good ...

Tanechka, thank you very much, I hope to see the light in time !!!

[Innusya]

Innusya, with time you will "see" - I guarantee

[Admin]

Admin, Tanechka, once again I say thank you very much for the recipe!
Especially this year, I planted a lot of zucchini, there were so many of them that I still process them. I cook, dry, but they are not available, everything flies away very quickly. Here I caught the moment while the whole.


Tanya, now I add cognac infused with vanilla at the end of cooking. The aroma is chocolate, and the taste of dried zucchini becomes completely unusual and it is completely impossible to understand what kind of fruit it is. All guests are delighted and no one can guess that this is the simplest zucchini. Well, very tasty. Of course, it's a pity that it is impossible to keep them in reserve, but on the other hand, this is the best indicator that everyone likes it. And I'm glad, it's better to eat zucchini than plasticine candies.

[Marina]

Marina, FOR HEALTH for the whole family, especially for children with a sweet tooth
With cognac, a very interesting idea

To preserve, try after drying, while still warm and sticky, roll in sugar well, and then lie in the refrigerator in a box or bag

Tanya, I dry them well, but at the same time they are not brittle, elastic. There are no problems in saving. Last year I hid the jar until spring, they stood perfectly. The biggest problem is quickly eaten. I treat you a lot. There were guests, after tea they were sitting and just like seeds they ate zucchini, constantly poured in. And the grandson eats my weekly cooking-drying in three days. I have 12 trays in Isidri, I load them almost every day, the output is not big. In general, I will not stock up on them.
Try it with vanilla, it turns out very aromatic and tasty.

The biggest problem is quickly eaten.

that's why I don't. I don't have so many zucchini, but I don't want to suffer because of 1-3. It's enough that I have infected you all with dried zucchini, you cook, and I will laugh at you in a good way

This year they filled me up with prunes heartily, cooked it a lot, and dried it. Today, I brought 1.5 kilograms of prunes from the market, well, the sellers have already imposed their own sellers for free, just take the leftovers now, put them on dry in the night, sprinkle salt-pepper-sugar.
And the other day I was buying vegetables, and my seller persuaded me to buy raisin grapes, and while I was thinking, "do I need it?" , I slipped a bag of grapes into my bag - just take the leftovers, the trade is going badly. I had to dry the raisins at home, it turned out about 700 grams of light raisins - so sweet !!!!!! then I had to wash the trays from the dryer

[Admin]

Admin, is it possible to dry mushrooms? And if you did, is there any similarity with the forest ones?

Can be dried. Like other mushrooms, cut into slices and dry until tender.
There is no smell of forest mushrooms. There is a similarity only in appearance, and nothing more.
Only I don't dry champignons, I see no point in drying these mushrooms

I thought so, thanks. Unfortunately, we now have no forests and mushrooms, respectively, too. The time is ...

Unfortunately, we now have no forests and mushrooms, respectively, too. The time is ...

Well, if in this sense ... then you can stock up for future use as a way out of the situation Only from 1 kg. fresh it turns out about 100 gr. dried.
And just in general, champignons and oyster mushrooms can be pickled, it turns out delicious

Good afternoon, recently I became the happy owner of an electric dryer. Since last year, there was a pumpkin in the freezer, so I cooked it according to this recipe. Everything worked out the first time. Thank you very much. The truth did not have time to photograph, somehow they ate it very quickly.

[Natasha]

Natasha, to your health!
If you ate it quickly, then it turned out very tasty.

Tanya, I'm following in your footsteps. I tried to wilted zucchini. I liked it, I will do more. In order not to drive the dryer in vain, since there was only one zucchini, along the way I made dried kiwi, banana chips and apple chips (left behind the scenes).

[Olya]

Olya, to your health! Pretty woman! Everything goes, just have time to dry

And this is called "in my footsteps" - catch up and overtake

Drying "Fruit and berry bouquet", natural whole fiber, herculean porridge "like from a bag", fruit drink (Admin)

[Admin]

Admin, Tatyana! I decided to try dried zucchini. First, I cut it into 2 cm, but they didn't let the juice out a little. Well, I halved them, they turned out to be 1 cm thick. And everything worked out great. I am happy with the result.

[Valyusha]

Valyusha, to your health! Well, now, now we'll put the zucchini on the stream, we'll feed everyone

[Tatyana]

Tatyana, can you also cook zucchini like that, or just ordinary zucchini?

[Mila]

Mila, I have not tried zucchini dried
You will make zucchini, and add a small zucchini to sample, in the total mass - then it will be clear "what it is"
In principle, they have the same taste, the difference is in density.

[Admin]

Admin, for some reason, not all photos are opened, only the first and last, but I would like to see all the stages of preparation with my own eyes,
I'm sluggish for the first time, so every little thing is important to me
And another question arose, according to the recipe we take orange peel, and lemon juice, how important is it?
and if you take the zest and juice of an orange or zest and lemon juice? will it somehow affect the quality and storage?

[Sveta]

Sveta, I'm sorry ... I'll try to restore the photo today

The quality of the product is affected only by processing with sugar, syrup. Storage also depends on how well the product is cooked.
Lemon, orange, juice, zest and so on ... these are just flavorings. For example, I don't like pure zucchini, but it's very tasty with zest

I restored the photo, now everything is visible

[Tatyana]

Tatyana, Thank you

We are waiting

We'll be waiting too .... Good luck!

Girls, I'm going to dry zucchini too. They are overgrown, but juicy. and there are many of them ...
So while I prepared a small saucepan, cut it thinner so that it dries quickly, squeezed the oranges and, for lack of lemon, sprinkled it with a little citric acid.

Also zhdemsssss ... the result is interesting

Two large zucchini made only one drying tray. And half have already been pulled apart
So tomorrow morning I'll cut 8 pieces straight
The syrup was boiled with a large bunch of mint and in a jar.It tastes like "takeoff" sweets or theater-goers. Class !!!

[Zhannptica]

Zhannptica, oh Jeanne, she reminded me of the mint! Thank you! I also cut the second batch by hand thicker and poured boiling syrup with oranges. I ran to throw mint too!

Two large zucchini made only one drying tray. And half have already been pulled apart

And I warned you!
Honestly I warned everyone - they are eaten quickly, just bring it to the table, and then they will be taken away along the way

It is VERY VERY tasty !!! At least with purchased papayas and pineapples, nothing can be compared)))
The next (triple batch) is already being prepared))
Thank you!!!

Nezhinsky cucumbers, by the way, are also sterilized, of course, a double norm

Added Monday 15 Aug 2016 1:02 PM

I sprinkled it with a little sugar powder, so it does not shine

[Jeanne]

Jeannehow lovely, these zucchini of yours are wonderful!
Here, make me follow my own workpieces, but I want something new And I will look at your sweets ... and I want to repeat it again
And a photo - OTPAD!

I'm waiting for the cucumbers. I drag the leftovers for a second day on buffers - oh, delicious!

Thanks for the compliments
I have leftovers, as much as a whole jar, my husband, passing by, hooked an onion from a basin and asked for this salad for dinner. They just sentenced to four

Added on Monday 15 Aug 2016 02:40 PM

By the way! I had zucchini))

Well ... they won't let you cook anything in peace!
And when the salad is infused ... how delicious
Therefore, stash a little in the refrigerator from your husband, put it on the table in a couple of days. Add green onion and vegetable oil to the salad - it will go with a Hurray!

That's so beautiful!
I have just dried, three options, the first turn into chips, the second I poured with hot syrup, but there is no such beautiful transparency, well, the third run I have already boiled for 5 minutes, they are infused, only here transparency appears. Apparently my zucchini variety is harder, so I boiled them a little, I'll put them in the dryer to cool down!

[Hope]

Hope, thanks)), success !!!!

more recently, zucchini was considered a weed and a "shortage" in the country
And today the zucchini is DELICATES !!!! DELICACY!!!!

[Admin]

Admin, Tanechka, and I did. Delight! Thanks for the recipe!

[Sveta]

Sveta, to your health!
Did you do a lot? How much is left in the end? That was tasty?

[Admin]

Adminand I did! Two pallets "settled down" for drying ... by the end of the drying almost one was left ... I tried it a little bit ... Wait a minute I go and think - maybe I can finish eating them and not suffer ???

well ... lying under the table ... no words ... only wheezing from laughter

And why be ashamed of something - finish eating, of course!
And start over ...

[Admin]

Admin, I almost don't eat sweets, so as not to spoil Khviguru ...
And here I can’t tear myself away ... And from what? from KABACHKOV! ???
dragging along a couple ...
I also want to make candied fruits ... So I mentally torn between two recipes ...

Again, I attacked the nezhinsky cucumber retic ... I'll go do it too ...

So, to compensate for the sweet with salty: in one hand the zucchini is sweet, in the other hand the cucumbers are salty - and it is tasty and the figure is intact

I made a test batch ... Tasty, but the fibers crunch a little. Need to cook longer? Has dried for 6 hours, but are they soft and sticky? And should they be? Someone will be able to determine from the photo: has it reached the condition or not?

The husband eats and says that it is already delicious)

They should be moderately soft and sticky, they were cooked in sugar syrup.
It is not worth digesting, this is not a compote jam.

Boil the zucchini over low heat until they take on a transparent appearance. Do this carefully so that the zucchini is not soggy or overcooked. It is better to slightly undercooked until transparent, turn off the heat, and let stand in hot syrup.

[Admin]

Admin, Tatyana, put zucchini with sugar for the night. I would like to make them for the winter. I just master the dryer. I realized that dried fruits and vegetables can be stored in jars, bags and under vacuum. But what is the best way to deal with jerky? I made more dried cherries according to your recipe.And while it lies on the tray. I don’t know how best to save it. It seems that you take it out dry, but it will stand and it seems wet.

The jerky product contains sugar, which will never allow the product to become completely dry. Unlike if you would dry the cherries as they are, natural. It contains its own natural sugars, which is normal.

And dried cherries in sugar syrup will always be moist and soft. If dry very well, can be refrigerated.
I do not risk storing such homemade products, just in bags and in the closet.

Zucchini, peaches: after drying, they retain a large amount of raw juice, it is also better to store them in the refrigerator or in the freezer.

The problem can be solved only by the method of "complete replacement of raw juice with sugar syrup", which is described in the topic Sweet fruits "candied fruits (glace fruits)"
Such fruits can be stored for years without problems, in any case, I have them in a jar in syrup And just with a covered lid, without sterilization
And if you also dry them in a dryer, you get clean marmalade
