I store raisins, rice, beans, and other things, including four, sugar, etc in canning jars. The canning jars keep products dry, safe from bugs, humidity, etc. In fact, you can safely put all dehydrated products in jars and then put them in a dark place, like a basement, storm shelter, or if short on space, under the bed.

The blueberry farmers mentioned blanching was a good way to go and so I came home to Google it and here was your post! Thank you! I've got 20 lbs. of berries dehydrating now. Perfect timing!

I'll start picking in august to mostly freeze but we'll probably dehydrate some for camping. I linked to this post from my front page, look under sweet stuff. This is really good to know.

I ended up blanching mine & then poking a hole in each one. This was per a web video I checked out. It took a super-long time to dry them though (poking the hole was supposed to reduce the time). But it was also very humid! I think next time I may try cutting them in half & not blanching at all. I think we may be at an end of blueberries where I live - at least the farm I went to closed for the season Sunday. So I may wait until next year for more experimenting. Thanks for the post!
