What foods do you or will you dry this year to store?

Drying is great way of preserving foods as it is low cost, and you don't have to ahve any great skills to do it. I was given a food dehydrator for Christmas, so I'm looking forward to experimenting with that this year, but up until now I have dried all my product in the sun or just on top of the wood stove once it has cooled a little. My favourite dried food is peppers. I did this for the first time this year and they are fabulous to add to anything I'm cooking. I just shred them finely & leave on a tray to dry. Other things which I dry regularly are courgette, tomatoes, mushrooms, nettles, herbs and onion. The courgette I slice thinly then thread on string and hang from my washing line until dry! Having dried herbs in the kitchen is great for when I need some quickly, though I try and keep a good selection growing fresh too. Nettles is the same. You can always add a handful to a meal you are cooking when it's inconvenient to pop out and get some greens. My kids appreciate them added to scrambled eggs. I've never really tried to dry fruit. That will be an experiment for this year perhaps!
