Nice this will come in very useful but what does it mean to purse the fruit? (forgive my horrible understanding of cooking I live entirely off alphaghetti and ichiban)
Do you find this valuable?

maybe i read it wrong but there was something in there about pusing or pouring purse on the leathers and I am really bad at cooking so I felt i needed clarification

i think it is a typo of puree, which I may be spelling wrong, its got one of those little tilde things over the e. It basically means put the fruit in a blender until its about the consistency of applesauce. On a completely separate tack, does anyone have any idea about how long this stuff will store? I'm not a big fan of canning, its hard work and bulky so I'm looking for an alternative method of long term food prep. I know jerky lasts pretty close to forever if its dried and sealed properly, but I assume the sugars inherrent in fruits and vegatable make them spoil faster. Is this tru?

it will break down eventually but if you keep it oxygen free and moisture free it should stay for damn near ever.

Here is something I found useful on the subject that was not covered in the article."Most dehydrated foods will keep for at least a year as long as the temperature is around 70 F. However, the lower the temperature, the longer the food will keep. This is why some people keep the vacuum-sealed bags of dehydrated food in the root cellar, basement or an extra refrigerator, knowing the food will keep much longer. Even when stored at extremely low temperatures, dehydrated foods, like other stored foods, will eventually lose flavor and nutritional value."
