How to dry fruit

3.9 (523)

Dried fruit is a great snack and dehydrating fruits and vegetables a fantastic way of reducing food waste. In this blog, we take a look at what you need to consider for a safe dehydrating

  • Prep Time 10 minutes
  • Dehydrating Time 27 hours
  • Total Time 27hrs 10m

Ingredients

  • 5 pounds lemons (about 23 medium)
  • Lemon Juice
  • Water

Instructions

  1. Wash and slice your lemons into 1/4" slices.
  2. Mix equal parts lemon juice and water and submerge the sliced lemons. This helps keep the lemons looking better for longer.
  3. Place the sliced lemons onto dehydrator trays and dehydrate between 115 °F for 27 hours. (Dehydrating your lemons at a lower temperature will maintain the color as lemons like to brown during the dehydration process. The flavor profile is still very similar depending on which route you decide to take.)
  4. Once your lemons are completely dry and slightly pliable, store in an airtight container with an oxygen absorber in a cool dark place.
