HOW TO DEHYDRATE STRAWBERRIES IN AN OVEN

Quarantine has led me to try lots of new things in the kitchen.

Strawberries are my favourite fruit and I wanted to find a way to preserve them.

I’m not a fan of freeze dried fruits as I find them too crispy - this method will give you chewy + sweet strawberries.

Great to do in the summer months to keep ‘fresh’ fruit in your cupboards over winter!

Some important notes

  • Make sure the strawberries you pick are ripe and sweet

  • Keep a close eye on the strawberries as they dry in the oven, they may need more/less time

  • If they still feel moist after removing them, they are not done!

  • The slices towards the edges of the trays will usually dry first, remove them and allow the rest to continue to dry

  • You can use this method with other fruits, just adjust the time for the moisture content of the fruit! Try it and let me know how it goes
