Hobby Horseman California Farm Smoke-Dried Banana Chips California Farm Smoke-Dried Banana Chips I bought five Chiquita bananas, only needed two, and remembered cookpad Member’s Minh recipe how to preserve them.

It is risky to smoke-dry fruits outside in this heat, besides I am using my outdoor dryer to dry green grapes, but the bananas get over ripe quickly and need to be processed. A great way to prevent food waste. I previously posted banana peel soup and banana peel bacon, see links in here. #GlobalApron Hobby Horseman California Farm Orchard Apple Pie California Farm Orchard Apple Pie We inherited a handtool to make apple pies, because all our Granny Smith apples are ripe at the same time, and making twenty pies by hand with just a knife is a lot of work.
