Dried Fruits & Vegetables

Posted in Kitchen

Dried vegetables & fruits are easy!

 

For the apple wedges, I core the apples and slice (wedge) the apples 8 to 16 times depending on the diameter of the apple.  (You can put the apples wedges in Fruit Fresh at this time if you like.)  For flavored apples, roll apples in cinnamon/sugar or honey.  Place in dehydrator.  It takes about 12 hours to dry.  Place apples in air tight container.

 

For dried bananas, slice bananas 1/3" thick, dip in honey, place in dehydrator.

 

For fruit roll-ups, blenderize fruits, adding sugar to taste, to make a paste.  Spread on wax paper and place in dehydrator. 


For dried tomatoes I like using Romas.  Slice about 1/2" thick in circles.  Sprinkle with ground herbs such as basil (lemon basil is wonderful!), oregano, chives, garlic, et al.  Place in dehydrator.  Store in air tight container.
Dried fruits & vegetables will be slightly chewy.  Make sure they are thoroughly dry otherwise you risk mold!
