Strawberries keep coming, trying a different way to dehydrate (sold some for sats at the local Bitcoin meetup too!)
I used whole strawberries for the last batch in the Bitcoin mining dehydrator which took 3 days to complete. Now, I'm trying a batch with them cut in half. There is definitely a trade off between time spent prepping and processing to decrease dehydration time and just shoving stuff in the box and letting it run. Because I'm also mining Bitcoin I'm hyper aware of the energy cost to run the dehydrator.
We have been eating strawberries with everything! Strawberry yogurt, strawberry banana bread, fresh strawberries, strawberry ice cream. Pretty soon we are going to be tired of strawberries and start focusing on preservation instead of gobbling them up. Ended up selling some at the local Bitcoin meetup for sats too! Strawberries are my favorite.

One pint jar jam packed with dehydrated strawberries. It's amazing how much space dehydrated food saves on shelf not to mention the freezer. This batch finished in 1/3rd the time and didn't take that much longer to process by cutting in half. I wasn't able to prep them in one continuous session so I'm not exactly how much longer it takes.

I've been weeding the apple tree nursery while I pick and it's starting look a little less unruly, seems to time out well with the growth of the weeds. This has been a great year for strawberries so far. They seem to be much sweeter than last year. We've been eating so many we haven't had enough for another batch in the dehydrator. I think there will be enough to run it if I pick again tomorrow morning.
