Dehydrated Strawberries
Easy dehydrator recipe and instructions for Dehydrating Strawberries
Ingredients
- Strawberries
Instructions
- Wash strawberries thoroughly
- Using your strawberry huller remove the stems of the strawberries.
- Using your knife and cutting board cut your strawberries into 1/4 inch thick (0.5 cm) slices.
- Place strawberry slices cut side up on mesh dehydrator trays making sure they do not overlap.
- Set your dehydrator to around 130°F (54°C).
- Expect strawberries to take anywhere from 8 to 16 hours to dehydrate, depending on thickness and humidity. Test doneness around the 8-hour mark and continue to check strawberry slices if they need more time.
- When done strawberry slices should feel dry, leathery, and no longer juicy but still be slightly flexible when they are done.
- Place your strawberry slices in airtight containers or vacuum-sealed bags to shield them from moisture and air.
- Store in a cool, dark place to maintain flavor and texture over an extended period.
Notes
Locally grown, fresh-picked berries dry faster than varieties grown for shipping and have a long shelf life.
