RECIPES/TIPS
PREPARING AND DEHYDRATING FRUITS:
Hint: To keep foods from sticking, brush a light coat of vegetable oil on your fruit leather
sheet. It will make removing food and cleaning easier.
APPLES:
Wash and peel (if desired), core and slice into ¼ inch slices or rounds. You may wish to
soak the fruits in lemon juice for 2-3 minutes prior to dehydrating. This will keep them
from darkening. Dry approximately 8-10 hours. Apples should be slightly crisp. If you
wish to rehydrate, soak in hot water for 10 to 15 minutes.
APRICOTS:
Wash, halve and remove the pits. Pretreatment is not necessary. Dry approximately 55-
60 hours. Apricots should be pliable with no pockets of moisture. To rehydrate, soak in
hot water for 15 minutes.
BANANAS:
Avoid using overripe bananas. Peel and slice. You may wish to pretreat by soaking in
lemon juice for 1-2 minutes to prevent darkening. Dehydrate approximately 45-50 hours
or until crisp. If you would like to rehydrate, soak in hot water for about 10 minutes.
BERRIES:
Remove stems, wash and shake dry. Pretreatment is not necessary. Drying time is
approximately 90-100 hours. Rehydrate by soaking in hot water for about 15 minutes.
Drain well before using.
