Ingredients
Method
- Wash the blueberries really well and get all the little stems out of them.
- Because blueberry skins are hard, blanch them for three minutes in boiling water instead of pricking each skin with a needle.
- Drain them really well on a paper towel.
- Line the dehydrator pans and spread the blueberries on them.
- Dry according to your dehydrator's directions until the blueberries are dried. It took much longer than the book said it would, like a day longer.

Notes
Four pounds of fresh blueberries made almost exactly a pound (.9444 pounds) of dried blueberries. I paid less than half what I would have paid for dried blueberries in the bulk aisle, a total savings of $7.21.
The dehydrator was big enough to do all four pounds at once.
