It's that time of year again, when I dehydrate my home grown garlic.
I know many of you already do, but I wanted to post this for those new at dehydrating.
Each clove is peeled and thinly sliced.
Then, the slices are placed onto my dehydrator trays, and dehydrated. Once they are dry, I put them into my coffee grinder (a small one I use for this sort of thing), and grind them down to a fine powder. This year I wanted to make garlic flakes, but my harvest was not that good. It's enough to get us into the winter, but not all the way. I may need to increase what I plant next fall.
Wow!! I never even thought about making my own dehydrated garlic!!! Thanks so so much for sharing!! God bless

So how does the house smell while the garlic is dehydrating? Hee-hee.
ReplyDeleteA question: Why don't you use the garlic "fresh" during the year until it's gone instead of dehydrating and making powder or flakes of it? Just wonderin' . . .
Mama Pea, I use a lot of garlic powder for different recipes, and it can last up to a year. My whole cloves last 3-6 months for other recipes.
ReplyDeleteLilac Cottage Homestead, you are welcome. We use the powdered garlic for many recipes.
