Homemade Zucchini Jerky

Zucchini Jerky

If you haven't ever considered making zucchini jerky, I hope that you will try my recipe for it at least once. It's such a delicious snack to have on hand. Plus, it's so nutritious!

Ingredients:

  • Zucchinis (about 4-6, depending on their size)

  • 4 tablespoons of vegetable, beef, or chicken bouillon granules or powder

  • 2 tablespoons of liquid smoke

  • 1/4 cup of water

  • 1 teaspoon of onion powder

  • 1 teaspoon of garlic powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon of smoked paprika

Instructions:

In a large saucepan, add 4 tablespoons of beef bouillon granules or powder, 2 tablespoons of liquid smoke, 1/4 cup of water, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of smoked paprika. Bring the mixture to a boil, then turn off the burner. Stir well. Set aside.


Wash and scrub the zucchini well. Slice into half-inch slices lengthwise. Then place the slices in the marinade. Try to get as much of the marinade on each slice. Marinate for a few hours.


I don't cook my zucchini in the marinade, but you can if that's what you prefer to do.


Place the marinated zucchini on your dehydrator trays. Dry at 125 to 135 degrees or until the pieces of jerky are crispy. I generally let mine dehydrate for about 10 to 12 hours.


Store your zucchini jeky in an airtight container.

Harvesting pecans at Olden Oasis

Harvesting pecans at Olden Oasis Harvesting pecans at my Olden Oasis Homestead is more than just a seasonal task; it's a tradition that deeply connects my family to our land and history. Nestled in the southern heartland, our homestead boasts rows of sturdy pecan trees, each a testament to years of natural growth and human nurture. As soon as the crisp autumn air settles in, preparations for the harvest begin, marked by the rustling of leaves underfoot and the distinct odor of earth and nuts. The act of harvesting pecans isn’t merely about collecting nuts; it’s about embracing the rhythm of nature and honoring the legacy of our ancestors who planted these trees decades ago.

Our mission is both challenging and rewarding, requiring patience as we carefully shake the branches, sending a cascade of pecans tumbling to the ground.
