Finally got around to drying some nuts!

I soaked pecans, walnuts and almonds, all separately, in salted water overnight. The pecans and walnuts I put 2 teaspoons of salt in about 4 cups of water and covered the nuts with that. For the almonds I used 1 teaspoon of salt to 4 cups water. It covered about 4 cups of nuts.

In the morning I drained them and spread them on the racks of the food dehydrator:

The pecans and walnuts were halves so they dried in 12 hours. The almonds took 24.

The kids are enjoying them as snacks and I am enjoying how easy they are to take along when I need to eat on the go.

Now that I've got the hang of the process, I can do twice as many at once and keep them in airtight containers in the fridge.

Enjoy!
