we do all sorts of fruits. but my kids favorite was the watermelon. just slice thin and dry. they were always snitching it out of the dehydrater before i could put it away, but it good fun for them.they would also snitch the bananas if i was making them. it got them to eat their friuts at least while having fun pulling one over on mom. (so they thought ) also for hamsters and small pets that can have veggies we would dry the celery leaves and apples for treats for them.. apricots were on of my favorites.my husbands of course was the beef jerky. i have a old recipe from back when you just dryed stuff in the oven on 200-250.the jerky made great xmas gifts for people like the ones at work to go along with their cards.
