There is nothing better than to enjoy some crock pot Italian Soup during a cold spritz in May. It was a new recipe ( Food.com ), but I utilized some tomato sauce I canned last year, and dried herbs from the herb garden. Not sure what they meant by "brown" onion, but I used a yellow onion, and used fresh minced garlic (not from a jar). I also used sweet Italian vs. mild sausage (what was in the freezer), and it turned out delicious! I'm taking advantage of these cooler weather days, and getting dehydrated items re-stocked. I'm dehydrating ginger for tea making and other uses. I can also grind it as needed. I do freeze some as well, which has come in handy several times for homemade ginger-ale and other meals and recipes. Has anyone, who uses a dehydrator, dehydrated turmeric root? I just froze us a bunch, but would like to dry some. How do you dehydrate it without staining your trays? Will it stain stainless steel if I layer it...
