Wash fruit thoroughly and remove any imperfections.

Preheat your dehydrator @ 130 degrees. Line the trays with parchment paper (See Note)

Remove skins (if desired), stems and seeds. Halve or slice in 1⁄4” to 1⁄2” circles or slices. NOTE: I only peel fruits like bananas.

Some fruits have a natural protective wax coating such as figs, prunes, grapes, blueberries, cranberries, etc. If the fruit has been artificially waxed, it should be dipped into boiling water for 1 -2 minutes, this will make the skin more porous.

Cut your fruit into 1/4-inch slices (strawberries, pineapple (core and cut in rings)

You want to cut the fruit thicker than you think, because it will shrink in size as it dehydrates.

Dry at 135°F (57°C) and check frequently near the end of the drying process and remove pieces as they dry. Fruit drying time is anywhere between 4 – 24 hours.
