Canning is the showy star of the preserving world, but drying fruit is also a great, space-saving way to preserve the bounty of your summer fruits and vegetables. In September 2012, City Fruit and City People’s Garden Store offered a free class on fruit dehydrating. It was taught by Kristin Danielson-Wong, who has been practicing and teaching fruit dehydration for a while (she’s also a yoga teacher at Lotus Yoga in Columbia City http://www.lotusyoga.biz/teachers-kristin/).
