Candied zucchini in the dryer for the winter homemade

Sweet vegetable treat? Try! This is an amazing yummy! We make candied fruits from anything together with children. The dryer is a great thing, I can't imagine how they used to do without it. From zucchini or pumpkin, candied fruits turn out to look like some kind of papaya, and thanks to honey, zucchini in the resulting delicacy becomes very difficult to recognize)))
