HOW TO DEHYDRATE ORANGE PEEL - Dehydrating Orange Peels

HOW TO DEHYDRATE ORANGE PEEL
#MoatCottageHomesteading #DEHYDRATEORANGEPEEL
Hi Guys, Elissa at Moat Cottage here and in this episode I’m showing you how I dehydrate Orange Peel from our home grown oranges.

How to dehydrate Citrus Peel
1. Wash and dry the fruit
2. Peel skin off, leaving pith on
3. Break up to fairly even sizes
4. Place on dehydrator with room for even air circulation
5. Dehydrate at 58C or 136F for 2 hour


Times may vary for varieties of citrus, my oranges take 2 hours and my Lemons take 4 hours for the same size pieces.
Ensure your citrus is dry and can be snapped easily.

I use my dehydrated citrus for cooking and in craft projects for gifts, like soaps.

I still use my oranges after I’ve peeled them but I make sure I consume them within 24 hours.

Welcome to Moat Cottage Homesteading,
I'm Elissa and on this channel you will see my homesteading life.
I show you how to be more self sustainable & homestead in a small space.
You'll see how to grow organic food, use and preserve the harvest, raise backyard poultry, both Muscovy ducks and Chickens as well as breeding Mealworms and Crickets.
You will learn how to make natural remedies, get more prepared for emergency situations, how to organise the homestead, money saving ideas and how to live with less waste.

Here at Moat Cottage, we raise and grow and process some of our own free range meat, organic vegetables and fruit.
We grow all of our herbs for both eating and medicinal purposes as well as hunt, fish and forage.
We preserve our produce for the year ahead by canning, dehydrating and freezing and we work on being prepared for emergency situations.
We live using less waste, we recycle and upcycle and love finding what is needed for a project at the scrap yard, op shop or a garage sale, but only buy what is really needed.
We don't like plastic, chemicals and artificial fragrances and are trying to live an older style life balanced with this modern world lifestyle.
Good health and natural living has always been a high priority for our family and despite this two family members are living with auto immune diseases, myself included.
We focus on what we can do, when we can do it, stay positive and so I make these videos for you on my best days.
Much Love
Elissa Jayne
