Dehydrating Pineapple

Do you ever stand in front of the fruit department at your local grocery store and think ‘I should eat this’ and ‘that looks good’ only to find out that those things are still in your refrigerator days later and have been kind of pushed back behind the frosted cupcakes? 

Well that’s usually what happens to me. 

So the challenge is to figure out what to do with those kind of food and in this case it’s a bunch of pineapple that’s hanging out in our fridge. 

And since I’ve never dehydrated pineapple before? Well it’s a good thing to try don’t you think? 

I was kinda busy tonight and I didn’t want to just Google how to do it, so I cut up the pineapple into smaller chunks and put them on the dehydrator screen. Seriously this can’t be rocket science and besides that – they even looked kinda right.dsc_0784 

I put the dehydrator upstairs in the kitchen so I wouldn’t forget about it and instead of my kitchen smelling like lavender or pumpkin spice from all my soap making  – it smelled this time like the pineapple. 

After taste testing about maybe more than a couple handfuls of the pineapple chunks, you know .. just to make sure that it could be done or something,  I finally decided to take them out. Now I realized after the fact that maybe I should have Googled how to do this because they were a little thin.20161016_145451_resized

But the real test is how do they taste? Well they taste Great! I definitely will be doing this again. Well maybe the next time I’ll cut them just a little thicker.
