Nectarine Powder

I read somewhere on the internet, that if you dry fruit skins then process them to a fine powder, it tastes lovely and is a beautiful addition to sponges and puddings etc. We shall see.

Herewith the peeled skins of my 4 nectarines from jam making, on 1 1/2 trays of my dehydrator:
And after they are dry:

Once processed into a fine powder, they yielded about 2 tablespoons. Too much work for such a small amount. However, it does have a great taste of nectarines. I will make some individual steamed pudding with the powder, soon rather than later, just to make sure the powder doesn't stick together.

    Thanks for this - it looks like a great idea - we use ours for things like onion, tomato and leek powder but haven't tried fruit peel for flavourings. One for the try out list

    That sounds tasty. I am hoping to get some cheap grapes and dry them in my dehydrator. Have you tried drying bananas? They go soft and chewy and are really tasty. I keep mine in a jar and they last ages

      Not too keen on dry banana unfortunately.

    Yes a lot of work but I should imagine a rather nice hint of the nectarine in a cake.
