In the video they just put a bunch of the dried lemons in water, add sugar and leave it for several hours. <br />The ducks will probably be breeders if I hatch any,then their babies will be for food once I have a decent flock of them. We'll see. I do love my ducks and it is hard for me to kill them but I have before.becky3086https://www.blogger.com/profile/01026872543168452124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424703824657047654.post-84006742331615743692011-08-29T14:04:58.834-04:002011-08-29T14:04:58.834-04:00I'd have never thought of dehydrating lemons.....I'd have never thought of dehydrating lemons....Hmmmmm....now if only I could ever come across inexpensive lemons to experiment with...BLD in MThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08497511995276601468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424703824657047654.post-40079806462809088242011-08-28T07:48:28.151-04:002011-08-28T07:48:28.151-04:00becky - these birds... are the for eggs or meat?

I have done some and just used them as decorations, but can you reconstitute them and use in cooking? I love to dry McIntosh apples in the fall--after dried, I freeze them for pies and cakes later. They are sooooo good!Egretta Wells bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15410663977991054877noreply@blogger.com
