Dehydrating My Celery…

Dehydrated celery can be used so many ways…. All they need is soaked in hot water, and then cooked in a dish…

They are wonderful additions to soups! When cooking a dish with alot of liquid, I only need to drop the celery in and allow time to rehydrate and cook...

I kept my stalk slices separate from my leaf slices so I will be able to use them in different ways…

This is how I did mine J


1. I cut the celery into thin slices… about the thickness of a quarter…

2. I cut the leaves thinly… about the thickness of a dime… keeping them separate from the stalk slices…

3. I left the lighter green stalk ends, put them all in a baggy in the freezer to be used later on for soup stock…

 
4. I spread the slices out on the dehydrator trays…

5. I dehydrated them at 125 degrees for 10-12 hours or until they sounded very dry and crisp…

6. The end results had shrunk considerably! LOL

7. I funneled the bits into jars and used the vacuum sealer to suck out air…
 
yayyy... success!
