Thanks for posting, It's something I've been looking at doing.. Course I need to buy a dehydrator first !!

How long do the Fruit,Veggies and jerky store safely for before having to use up ?

Jerky is good for a year or two. I'm gonna try making chili out of some of mine. I heard the cowboys used to make chili out of jerky all the time, so it can't be too bad. Can't say I've seen a recipe, though.

Perhaps recanning the dehydrated sauce would ensure freshness for a matter of years. Kinda like canning tobacco. Waddaya think?

I think thats a fine idea.Weve been using it up so quickly that hasnt been an issue yet for us.

Our personal storage is like this...

Apple and Pear slices in ziplock bags,opened constantly- One year.

Tomatoes in plastic containers with an oxygen absorber-3 years,excellent condition

Various flakes and powders in glass spice jars-excellent in 2-3 years so far

Then I have various veggies in sealed 5 gallon buckets,still sealed so I dont know,expect them to be doing just as well as the tomatoes.

Things that dehydrate into a hard form,sealed either with a vacuum or oxygen absorber-10-15 years.
