In 2020 I made and jarred up some thick round bread-and-butter sweet #pickles that turned out... mushy.
They taste good, but the mouth feel is a problem. The ones I haven't eaten? I'm never gonna eat.
But before I throw them away...
Today I have the #dehydrator running to make some #okra #chips. The experiment: I'm gonna dehydrate these mushy pickles and make pickle chips. It's a no-cost low-effort last-ditch attempt to avoid both food hoarding behavior but also food waste.
Verdict: FAIL
When maximally dehydrated, the texture is somewhere between fruit leather and actual leather. Flavor is fine (bursts of salt, sugar, brine, and spice) but "chips" are impossible to chew.
OTOH, the okra chips that were the main reason I was running the dehydrator are EXCELLENT.
