DRIED CANDIED FRUIT
Rinse fruits or fruit rinds and cut into thin strips. Simmer slowly in a solution of approximately 2 cups
water and 2 cups sugar for 1-1/2 hours. Test for tenderness. Place on trays and dry until pliable (8-
10 hours). Cool and store in an airtight container. Use for snacks or in cooking.
CHERRY PINEAPPLES
Drain canned sliced pineapples and maraschino cherries on paper towels. Place pineapples on trays
with cherry in center of each. Dry in dehydrator for 8-10 hours.
ORANGE CRISPS
Slice unpeeled oranges into 1/8 to ¼ inch slices. Dry in dehydrator for 6-15 hours until crisp. The
rind easily separates from orange meat for snacking. Powder rind or meat for natural sugar or spice
flavoring.
HONEY AND BANANA CHIPS
Slice bananas 1/8" to 1/4" thick. Place on trays and dry 8-20 hours at 135° until chewy. The greener
the banana the crisper the chip; The riper the sweeter. They're delicious plain and natural. (Option:
Dip slices into 1/4 cup honey mixed with 1/4 cup lemon juice. Pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle
lightly with nutmeg. This option will double the drying time).
