Ingredients
3cupsraspberries, black raspberries, blackberries or blueberries (frozen berries are fine, just add an extra hour to drying time)
Parchment paper, wax paper, or plastic wrap
Instructions
Place paper of choice onto rack/shelf of dehydrator.
Spread out berries in a single layer.
Dry in dehydrator for 36 to 48 hours.
Let cool (about 30 minutes) at room temp.
Place berries in a high powered blender, food processor, or magic bullet-type blender.
Blend at high for about 15 to 20 seconds. If there are still some larger pieces, blend a few seconds more.
For raspberries and blackberries, shake/tap powder through a fine sieve to remove most of the seeds.
Store berry powders in an airtight container with a small fabric bag or tea bag of rice to keep moisture from clumping the powder.
3 cups of fresh/frozen berries = 1 cup dried = 7 to 9 tablespoons of berry powder.
