Bananas & Royal Winton

Maybe you can tell that I was struggling for today's photo?!

However let me tell you about my dehydrator ... I have tried it with plums, but they come out a bit tart, however slices of bananas work beautifully and make the perfect healthy snack for golfing, cycling or hiking days.

I didn't have the right container for storing these dried offerings, so popped them temporarily into an old jam serving dish that came from my granny's house many years ago.

A perfect set up for your dried bananas.

Looks very tempting ... cute little jam pot ... and dried banana's are a real sweet treat .. never done dehydrating but my sister does .. she did lots of figs last year.. came time to go to bed and she just switched it off and went to bed ... come moring the whole kitchen was crawling with ants .. what a waste as I grew the figs and was hoping for some 'dried offerings'...

oooh I love the little box, I've considered getting a dehydrator, I must think on it more :)

I like your simple set up. Beautiful quaint container. Dried bananas are a great snack to carry whilst hiking and cycling.

I've been hit and miss with my dehydrator. I have better luck with veggies than I do with fruit. Bananas are the best fruits to dry. Yummmm

Lots of pattern in this photo. Dehydrated bananas sound good. I like to buy pineapple and mango (already dehydrated).

[Sarah Bremner]

That's beautiful treasure in use in the loveliest of ways. Love the idea of dehydrater....must investigate!

You have presented them to us so nicely Issi, it makes me want to taste one. :)

@julzmaioro Oh, what a shame, right enough! We don't have an ant problem here!

[Issi Bannerman]

@blueberry1222 Yes, so far I've only tried bananas, grapes and plums. The grapes also worked well, but took AGES! I must try some veggies.

[Issi Bannerman]

@gilbertwood Not tried apples yet, but must!
