How to Make Zucchini Candy With a Dehydrator

My successful experiment turning zucchini into candy. Delicious! Most everyone that grows these highly nutritious vegetables probably have an abundance of them right now. This is just another simple, cost effective way of preparing them, that your family is sure to enjoy.
You will need zucchini, kool-aid (or any unsweetened powdered drink mix, your choice of flavor), sugar and water.
The recipe I used for this video (the original recipe I found was double these ingredients):
5 cups sliced or diced zucchini
1 packet of kool-aid mix (strawberry)
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups water
In saucepan whisk water, sugar and drink mix together and bring to a boil (stirring constantly to prevent sticking).  Once mixture is boiling, stir in zucchini and bring back to a boil. Reduce heat, cover with lid, and simmer for 25 minutes. (stirring occasionally)
After 25 minutes, remove from heat and strain (you Can save your syrup for future batches, either place in a jar and seal or place in refrigerator.)  Place zucchini pieces in dehydrator in a single layer, not touching and process at 125 degrees for 14 hours.  When they are done you can store them as they are, or coat them in sugar, powdered sugar, or another sweet or sour drink mix. This gives different flavors and keeps them from sticking together in the container.
Eat and enjoy!
