As long as the dehydrator was out, and the price for celery wasn't too bad, I picked up three batches of celery to dry (we've been out for a looong time). I cleaned and trimmed the celery, kept out the hearts for some ants-on-a-log, and weighed the remainder. I had 3 pounds. Then I used the food processor with the slicer blade and did 6 stalks of celeery at a time. What quick work that made! I put the celery on the dryer trays 1 layer deep and dehydrated for about 16 hours at 110 degrees. My final yield was 2 ounces of finished product, or 1.5 pounds per ounce.
