Dried Fruit

A few months ago, I came accross a great deal for a food dyhydrator. I've been wanting one to dry fruits and herbs in. Hopefully, Ben will take a likely to it and challenge himself to make beef jerky.

The first time I used it I dried apples. They make a great summer time, on the go snack.

Peel and cut apples.

Soak apples for 1-2 minutes in lemon juice to prevent discoloration when drying.

Apples drying. It took about 6-8 hours for the apples to dry. They are sweet and delicious.

I am anxious to try some other recipes. Including dried veggies, herbs, and I would love to try to make my own fruit roll ups! What a fun adventure!
