I now have my largest mixing bowl FULL of thinly-sliced pumpkin (using the slicer option on the handheld food grater)! Took from around 10:30am to 2:30pm with around a half hour for lunch in the middle. With faint smoke hanging in the air outside, lunch was a bit queasy to say the least, and I had to break at that point anyway or risk getting both nauseated and dizzy together. I rested for a bit, with two trays in the oven at 250F. I've discovered it takes 3hrs for a tray of dried pumpkin. This will take awhile. . . left for the barn so no trays going during that time, will try to get two more trays done tonight. Now we see how many days this takes to work through. . . for one large pumpkin. . . just the wrong time of year to be making use of sunshine to do the job. Lots of sun right now, but highs of 19C according to the forecast just now.
