[@329crys]

this is awesome I also had a ton of cheap cranberries from last year in my freezer that I had no idea what to do with....thank you so much what a great idea!!!!

[@KatieCooksandCrafts]

We just ran out of this batch and they were still great. I hope I can score a bunch of cheap cranberries again after Thanksgiving

[@marykrigbaum9021]

Can't wait to try it. Thank you

[@annkruml]

I'm so glad I found this video. I tried making crainsins before but didn't boil them first and I had dry and gross cranberries that I should have just made into powder. thank you for sharing

[@mariaizaguirre8005]

Very interesting i will try it thank you.

Those look amazing good job 🙂 What would suggest on how much water & sugar I should use for my 1 bag of cranberries before they go on the dehydrater???

[@Tsadi9Mem9Khet9]

It turns out that cranberries only have one gram of sugar per 1/4 oz. That means that well over 20 grams of sugar are added per quarter ounce to most dried cranberries sold in stores.

+Kissai Sith Jen'ari Yes! store bought has as much sugar as candy!

This is the comment am looking for. My face all over suddenly started to break out. I thought it was the meds I had just started taking or bone broth, stopped taking them both but still, then I thought hrm, could it be the oatmeal banana bread I just made around the same time that has Craisins. Sure enough, I just checked the ingredients and BOOM! SUGAR!!!

Venus De Milo I work at a cranberry receiving station. I’m coming home with bags of beautiful cranberries every day!

@@ingridr8917 Good. Fresh ones you mean or packaged? Btw my face cleared and I threw them all away lol. Never ever again will I ever buy the packaged ones. Hope I remember in future.

[@ingridr8917]

@@venusdemilo3378 at the receiving station we get the cranberries straight off the truck after they are harvested. I work in the lab where we grade the cranberries by size,, colour, firmness and sweetness. The quality is determined by the results we get in the lab.on those cranberries ,

Very fine job!

Looks delish .

Have you ever made dehydrated + sweetened tangerines or mangos? What are the steps? I would love to get some help on this? Thanks for the great video. Andrea

[@KatieCooksandCrafts]

I've never done those but I would love to do mangos next time they go on sale. I wouldn't know where to begin with tangerine. I've had commercially dried tangerine and it wasn't my favorite.

Hi, I did not read all the comments, however you should always, ALWAYS soak your foods in Citric Acid bath before dehydrating. I did not think that I needed to with some zucchini chips that I made in August and ended up with stomach virus, the one that gave me diarrhea. I read my dehydrating book and it says cranberries need 1 TBS per gallon of bath water so I used 2 TBS to be safe.

GOOD MORNING...THANK YOU FOR SHARING..

[@ginadavis7039]

Thx for the awesome video..my question to you is,is your countertop laminate..if so ,is it safe to roll dough on it..or do you have a dough board,thx

[@KatieCooksandCrafts]

the countertops are acrylic. I roll dough right on them

[@CowboyGirl007]

looks mushy. were they overcooked?

[@KatieCooksandCrafts]

+Allie Hunter They turn out just like craisins but less sweet (by design). They are dry and chewy in the end.

[@snoozemaaster16]

Hey what did you do with the liquid ? If I do this could I possibly drink it as "cranberry juice "?

[@KatieCooksandCrafts]

I poured it onto fruit leather trays and dehydrated it. It was thick, probably not pleasant to drink. It made nice fruit leather.

[@dewila7632]

Thin it out probably to drink.

[@zhirrebaz2354]

After when put in bottle then put in freezer??

[@noorb8060]

39cents per bag??????😮

[@kentzhao9041]

k

[@Contantina46]

39 cents !! Good bargain

[@KatieCooksandCrafts]

yeah, I watch every year and I haven't seen a bargain like that since. I guess they got smart and stock less so they don't have to sell at such a low price after thanksgiving. If I see them below $0.50 I will buy them aaaaalllllllll!

[@ridiska99]

Can you make me a few jars and mail to me? Ill pay u the same thing it cost in stores. Stores have so much sugar - just aweful

[@pollywac1719]

Wow. So much waste..
