HOW TO DRY YOUR OWN FRUITS
Prep your fruit Choose ripe or just overly ripe fruits and berries Wash in cold water Remove any blemishes Remove any pits or stones from stone fruits Remove any stems from berries Cut and slice fruits evenly so that the y will dry within the same time frame (Optional) Remove the skins Some fruits, such as peaches, nectarines, and apples, dry better if the skin has been removed. Score the bottom of each piece of fruit by making a shallow "x" with a paring knife. Bunk into boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer to a basin filled with ice water. The skins should slip right off.

Soak it to keep fruit looking pretty and minimize discoloration, soak it in lemon juice and water. Soak fruit for 10 minutes, drain and blot dry with a lint-free towel. To the Oven Preheat the oven to 130-160 degrees F. Use a lower temperature for thin sliced fruits such as apples or peaches. Strawberries and other whole berries love the higher heat. Place parchment paper onto sheet pans. Arrange fruit in a single layer, and do not allow pieces to touch. Top fruit with a pizza screen or silicone pan liner to keep them from curling up as they dry. Place fruit into the oven and rotate pans every 2 hours. 6/1/17
