Chookie's Meyer Lemon Dust

[fundj&e]

Did you leave the seeds in Chookie?  It looks like Uni has taken her seeds out.  How much of a difference do you think this would make to the end taste?

some seed are still there i sliced the lemons  on an electric slicer thats why u cant see them

[achookwoman]

Marina,  depends on how many seeds are in the lemons.  Some have lots ,  some a few. 
Uni,  you really are a clever girl.

[achookwoman]

DH,  has just reminded me that I have one of those slicers.  Must look for it.

the oven worked really well ACW i only sliced 1 lemon yesterday thinking it would not work  i have 3  more sliced lemons in the oven now

i love my slicer ACW

Uni, these look great.  Let us know how they go in the TMX.
My slicer isn't one of those beautiful machines that I see in the Italian Shops in Melb.  We bought it at a country market.  Second hand.  Still it does the job.

i have a second hand one 2 and like u said it does the job

while i think  of it i sliced some sourdough bread to make crostini omg we could not eat it it went very very hard do u know why that would happen ?

No,  I don't.  We eat most of our Sour Dough bread toasted.

SEE NOTES !  ADDED TO RECIPE.  Will add more as I test it.

This is a great idea Chookie.  A few months ago I made lemon powder by drying the grated zest of lemons to then grind to powder. (to make lemon pepper).  As you can imagine it took quite a few lemons and didn't make much powder.  Using the whole lemon appeals to me.  I will try this, thanks for posting.

Chookie, I have dried orange rind and pulverised it in the TM to use in cooking -it's concentrated flavour is just divine.  Must give lemon rind a go now, too!

What temperature and how long in the oven Uni?

they are not complete dry yet, ACW said  to put them in the for a little while, to help them along.

Hi, I have just caught up with this thread, GREAT.  I have heaps of Meyer Lemons and the dehydrator is still out from making Tenina's chicken stock powder, i will have this on tonight.  I LOVE this forum and the ever surprising idea that arise.

[fundj&e]

if the dust does what i want it to do, i will b buying a dehydrator for sure

[Aussie Brenda]

Uni, I have had my dehydrator for about 20 years, I love it, sometimes I forget I have it but once it is out, usually in summer I love making dried fruits in it.   Rock melon and watermelon, they take a bit of drying but they are delicious snacks when dried.  I have also dried slices of cumquat's and dipped them in chocolate.....hummmm.   You would get a lot of use out of one.
