[@carolynnecp]

Brilliant, so lovely to see them made with nothing else,added.

[@thehomesteadnurse]

Thank you!

[@pamelaquander8485]

my sister recently bought me a air fryer, and I have cook books on air fryering. they may have a recipe on making dried fruit. question I have a bottle of fruit spread, can I make fruit roll ups with that.?.and .😊😊

[@thehomesteadnurse]

I would try it! I think it would make fruit roll up

[@Somethinghumble]

I can't believe I've been vegan ten years without getting a fruit dehydrator. Thank you so much!

[@thehomesteadnurse]

You are most welcome!

[@bairdgardens3925]

I always enjoy your videos

[@thehomesteadnurse]

Thanks for watching!

[@FunkySpaceDude]

Great video. I'll be making my first attempt at making these this weekend, and like that you added no sweeteners to your mix. Do you find that the mango taste becomes sweeter after dehydration or does it taste the same as not being dehydrated? Thanks for the upload. Really appreciate it. 🙂

[@thehomesteadnurse]

Thank you! I find it depends on how ripe the mangoes are at the time of dehydration that determines the sweetness.

[@FunkySpaceDude]

@@thehomesteadnurse Oh ok. Thank you for that tip. I'll keep that in mind. 🙂

[@SuzetteSteenkamp]

I'm confuse how many hours should it be in the oven?

[@SunshineAscensionCompany]

Will the regular metal tray work just as well or do I need a special tray?

[@thehomesteadnurse]

Depends on your dehydrator, but I don’t see why not

[@hellogoodbye3129]

Spray it with Pam cooking spray or equivalents. Sugar sticks to bare metal of any kind so you need a bond breaker. Parchment paper or wax back works very well. Bet yourself a paper slicer. Makes the the finished product look like you know what you are doing!😂

[@ResourcefulLivingHomestead]

Loved the video but can you share your dehydrator temp & how many hours they take?

[@thehomesteadnurse]

140 degrees for 8-9 hrs should do the trick

[@ResourcefulLivingHomestead]

@@thehomesteadnurse I had mine set on 140 for 6 hrs & they turned out too brittle. Had to toss it all

[@Johnfulkan283]

Love your knife skills..😂😂😂

[@thehomesteadnurse]

Thank you lol they are a big hit here 😆

[@312countrygirl]

10 hours at what temp? my says 155F and can I do other fruit like apple or strawberries?

[@thehomesteadnurse]

I would say anything temp higher then that you will be cooking so your good! I would try 10 hrs and if it not completely dry you can always add time.

[@312countrygirl]

Thank you!👍

[@SamanthaMacon]

This was the most complicated way to cut a mango lol

[@thehomesteadnurse]

Lol

[@anthonykeato9574]

And why did you cut the paper after you rolled it? Why didnt you just roll it another 1/2 inch 😂. I think you were meant to cut the sides off

[@smallybiggzzz]

What exact model of dehydrater is that? I need to replace mine and I've heard about the one your using in the video. Just curious what model it is. Thanks. Great vid

[@thehomesteadnurse]

The model information is in my description 🙂

[@steveulliott4106]

how long dobthey last in the fridge?

[@thehomesteadnurse]

You do not have to put them in the fridge since they are dehydrated. If you dry the fruit completely with dehydration it can last 6 months to a year in your pantry.

[@jnsharrisjr]

How long does the dehydrated fruit keep?

[@thehomesteadnurse]

Depending on where you store it can last from six months to a year.

[@UndralbayrUndralbayr]

How many cook and degree?

[@thehomesteadnurse]

140 degrees for 6 to 10 hours depending the strength of your dehydrator.

[@ajaykumarbalach3153]

When I dehydrated it at 65c for 9hrs . A layer of liquid sugar appeared on surface. How can I solve this problem. Should I change the recipe and ingredients??

[@thehomesteadnurse]

Looks like it is still needs more time to dry, try to dry it for 3 more hours & see.

[@ScotianRebel]

Im in the process of making my first batch of Banana Pineapple fruit leather. When I blended the puree and poured it into the tray it was a bright yellow and now a few hours into drying it's starting to turn a little brown, is this normal? TIA :)

[@thehomesteadnurse]

Yes, It can happen especially if the pineapple is very moist going in. I would just look out for any white spots on the brown areas that indicates mold. You can squeeze lemon juice around your pineapple before you dehydrate it next time to try to prevent the brown.

[@Aharra12]

Pro tip use a potato skin peeler on mangos

[@thehomesteadnurse]

Do whatever is easier for you 🙂

[@kitomad7357]

Why not just use a peeler to peel the mango? Or cut the mango in half (short ways) around the seed, twist the two halves and the seed comes right out. Or cut the mango in half long ways around the seed, the two halves will be similar to when you cut an Avocado in half. Cut the mango into little squares inside of the peel, then turn the peel inside out and you can scoop all the little mango squares out of the peel.

[@thehomesteadnurse]

Cut mangos however you like ❤️

[@lauramahoney4630]

I cut it in half long ways on both sides of seed and peel the fruit off the outer peel. Less waste that way. And more deliciousness!!

[@Stitchpooljay]

Fun fact: Mango is in the same plant family as poison ivy and poison sumac. The pit, peel, sap….pretty much everything except the flesh that we eat contains urushiol, the chemical responsible for poison ivy rashes. Just wanted my absolutely painful experience to be helpful to someone else.

[@thehomesteadnurse]

Thanks for the info!

[@brandonromo6265]

Hardest way to peel a mango…:::

[@haveabongbro]

lmfao %1000 can tell shes a nurse and not a surgeon 😂

[@kelleyniemanatthebablerbar2769]

There is an easy way to cut a mango. 😂

[@thehomesteadnurse]

🙃 of course

[@Ftybr57]

What a waste of mango peeling it that way.

[@thehomesteadnurse]

Compost is always a good idea

[@squirrel7257]

True ​@@thehomesteadnurse

[@RebelsBestFriend]

Please don't put music, just talk to us.

[@thehomesteadnurse]

Every video is different. Thanks for the feedback.

[@Vehvilainen_Lundqvist]

If u combined all the bits of mangoes from that skin u could easily get a lot more .. what a waste

[@thehomesteadnurse]

You can save & freeze for smoothies

[@hyderjaffri3479]

I loved your videos but please do wear gloves

[@thehomesteadnurse]

Thank you!

[@patcummings6950]

Why don't these guys do the food prep before they start so we don't have to sit through peeling, measuring etc ?

[@thehomesteadnurse]

You can most definitely prep before, some like to see the process others don’t. That’s okay, can’t please everyone.

[@shannonlee1010]

Lol really? You had to sit thru them peeling? Streaming has really spoiled people and created short attention spans. I remember watching cooking shows on TV, we had to watch prep and commercials. Yall could never!
