Hello 👋🏾 Fam, I’m Just Learning How To Dehydrate my Food 🍱 and I found You…I Certainly Appreciate your Kindness Understanding and Knowledge 🌹🌹🌹

[@annikafunnell8982]

I know this was posted a year ago but I just found it and made some and they are now a staple in my cupboard! I use them mostly in cocktails, mocktails, and to brighten up a sub par red wine :) I have also used them in stews, soups, and marinades if I don't have fresh ones on hand. Thanks for the video, it was really informative :)

[@SustainableHolly]

Yay thank you so much for the feedback 😊🍋 they are also a staple in my home and easy gift ideas 💛

[@LighterFootprints]

Thanks Holly. You have inspired me to buy a dehydrator today as my lemon tree is prolific!

[@SustainableHolly]

Love dehydrated lemons! They make beautiful gifts!

[@karendavies9434]

Doing this on the weekend with our huge bucket load of lemons. Thanks 😊

[@SustainableHolly]

Yay! Such a great way to use them up and they make easy gift ideas 🙌🍋

[@hotmamajean]

The darker lemons are such a beautiful colour !

[@SustainableHolly]

They smell amazing like caramelised 😍

[@tmontero8492]

You did a fantastic job describing texture, flavor and uses. I'd been considering dehydrating lemons, now you've convinced me to get going! Excellent presentation, you covered everything! Btw: you do have the loveliest eyes! Greetings from a grandma in San Francisco!

[@frankwest9146]

Love the info and tutorial Holly AND the dehydrator.Your mandolin skills are impressive!! Coralyn

[@SustainableHolly]

Thank you for watching 😊 haha I love it but still makes me nervous sometimes!

[@gugushabangu4097]

Thanks so much! My mom has a huge harvest of these and I have a share and didn't want to use them all up immediately!

[@bluestar7757]

Thanks Holly for the wonderful information

[@SustainableHolly]

Thank you! I’m so glad you found it useful 🍋 I have another video on dehydrating coming up tomorrow 😉

[@animcmillan5240]

Thanks for showing me that slicer. Ive got one of those but would never have thpught to use it

[@craigmetcalfe1749]

Wow Holly! Top marks for making the most of your beautiful harvest. Could I do the same with limes? Cheers!

[@SustainableHolly]

Yes limes, oranges, grapefruit! All amazing!

[@manelovers5764]

Yes use the tool. I chopped the tip of my finger off during 2020 shutdown 😳

[@SustainableHolly]

Aw no! They seem innocent but they are dangerous little tools!

[@fransiedutoit7338]

Kia ora Holly! In New Zealand the humidity is quite high as you know. Do they stay nice and dry in the jar or do you recommend throwing in one of those sachets to keep it dry? Thank you!

[@simplelifewanted6278]

These look so good! We keep saying we need to buy a dehydrator so I think you've sold it to us 👌 specially as we always have so much fruit and not enough space!

[@SustainableHolly]

Haha it really is such an easy way to preserve! Let me know how you go! 🍊🍋

[@animcmillan5240]

Could you dehydrate them with a sprinkling of sugar on top.

[@naturewoman1274]

Hey Holly, does the dehydrator cost much to run I know you have to leave them on for hours I'm thinking of buying one,cheersxx

[@SustainableHolly]

I have no idea how to calculate that as I just use mine sporadically. Usually 8 hours. They may have those details on the website but I think it’s quite small. I’m testing out solar drying soon!

[@trumplostlol3007]

Soak your slices of lemon in sugar or honey or salt before you dry them or sun dry them. The sugar and salt will allow the lemon to be stored for longer.

[@SustainableHolly]

Great idea thank you

[@bluestar7757]

I was just thinking these dehydrated lemons would taste good with a little sugar and then as I was sampling them

[@mariannetiamson6478]

Thanks for the vid. Are dried lemons usually bitter?

[@SustainableHolly]

The rind will be bitter so depends how thick you cut them. Mine are pretty thin and more like sour chews

[@mariannetiamson6478]

@@SustainableHolly thanks Holly for the information.

[@Damselfly54315]

Can you make lemon oil with dehydrated lemons?

[@lailadavids]

How do you preserve them love?

[@SustainableHolly]

Just dehydrate until they are dry and put them in an airtight container 🍋

[@animcmillan5240]

You can whisk them and turn them into a powder and store the powder in jars

[@cassyalexis3958]

Wooow!!! That's such a great idea! 🤗 Do they actually turn into powder??? 🤔

[@animcmillan5240]

Is that dehydrator solar or power.

[@joannedixon1977]

I think I need a mandolin!

[@SustainableHolly]

Only if you use the safety piece! 💖
