Steve,
I like to make my own. My wife bought me an Excelsior dehydrator (chest type) a couple of years ago for Christmas. I love to dehydrate apples, pears, bananas, and strawberries in it. You can get whatever fruit is in season and make as much as you want. You will find it much more economical (10 to 20% of the cost of store bought) and since you won't be adding preservaties, probably healthier too. I also make beef jerky and dried herb blends and get a much better product than the stuff at the store at a small fraction of the cost! The dehydrator has been one of our best food appliance investments...
regards,
John
