How to Prepare your Food:
• Blanching Fruit: Some fruit have a protective wax type coating such as grapes, blueberries and cranberries. If
drying whole, dip in boiling water for 1 to 2 minutes to speed up the drying process.
• Blanching Vegetables: Blanching preserves colour and slows ripening process. To blanch vegetables, soak in
boiling water for 1-2 minutes then place in cold water. The Drying Guide found on page 11, lists the type of
vegetables that should be blanched before dried.
