Ingredients

• Fresh Oranges

Preparation

Step 1

Dehydrated Oranges:

Peel oranges and thinly slice with a Mandolin or knife. Arrange slices on dehydrator trays. You may be surprised by how delightful dehydrated oranges taste. They also make great Christmas decorations.

Drying time will depend on how thick you slice your fruit and if you have added agave nectar or honey. Generally most fruit will take up to 8 hours. I often start my dehydrator in the evening and let it run all night. The fruit is dry when you cut it open and there is no moisture inside. Remove the fruit from the tray and let cool before storing. I store my dried fruit in glass mason jars. It is best to buy fruit at its peak season and make sure to only use ripe fruit.
