This will be in my first time ever home made backpacking meal. Also first time cooking for myself or anyone else on a camping trip. I will be having this as a side to go with salmon(rei) and brown rice(trader joe's).

Dried Blueberries and Strawberries
There is always a chance of flavor cross-contamination when drying different things at the same time, but I think this one will be okay.
1 lb organic strawberries = 1 tray = ? qts dried organic strawberries = $2.99
Dehydrate 10-14 hrs.
2 cups frozen wild organic blueberries = 1 lined tray = ? c dried organic blueberries = ~ $2.50
Dehydrate 12-16 hrs.

Apple Rings
Dehydrated apples, for backpacking.
3lbs organic apples = 1 1/2 - 2 qts organic unsulphured dried apples = $3.69
3lbs fills the entire dehydrator (4 trays). Usually I make them crispy, I am going to try for a more traditional apple ring this time.
Dehydrator time = 8-12 hrs.

Honey Basalmic Chicken with Basil
By request. We usually eat this mid summer when we have a TON of basil that needs to be eaten.
Honey Basalmic Chicken with Basil (for 2)
chicken, sliced into tenders
salt
pepper
4T basalmic vinegar
2T honey
1-2c fresh basil
Salt and pepper chicken, sautee until almost/mostly done, browned on the outside.
Combine basalmic vinegar and honey, add to pan with chicken. Simmer to reduce and finish cooking chicken, (5-8 min? it won't be a thick sauce). Add 1-2 c fresh basil (or as much or little as you want, we like a lot!) to the pan, JUST before serving, turn off heat and allow to wilt (1-2 min). Serve with couscous or potatoes. It is good over garlicky mashed potatoes, or for less work mushroom couscous made with chicken broth.
