Select fruits that are at the peak of the ripeness. Wash fruits to remove dirt and debris.

There are many options when it comes to drying fruit and personal preference should

be your guide. Fruits can be sliced, halved, or if small left whole will require the most

drying time.

Slice fruit uniformly and in piece about 1/4 inch thick. Fruits that are left whole, such as

blueberries, cranberries and grapes, should be dipped in boiling water for 30-60 seconds

and then plunged in ice water to crack the skin. This procedure will reduce the drying

time.

darken even after the fruit is dried. This is due to the exposure of the natural enzymes

in some fruits to air. There are several pretreatment options to prevent this discoloration.

page 6 to determine which fruit will benefit from the pretreatment. You may want to dry
