Dehydrate Strawberries

Strawberries are a delicious summer fruit that can easily be enjoyed year round. Dehydrate strawberries to preserve the fresh taste.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Strawberries
  • Dehydrator (OR)
  • Cookie Sheet
  1. Step 1

    Wash, dry and hull firm, ripe strawberries.

  2. Step 2

    With a thin, sharp knife, slice the strawberries into one quarter inch slices.

  3. Step 3

    Arrange the strawberry slices on the dehydrator trays. Don't let the edges overlap.

  4. Step 4

    If you don't have a dehydrator, arrange the slices on a parchment lined cookie sheet and place in the sun.

  5. Step 5

    Let the slices dry until they are dry to the touch and pliable. Store in an airtight container or zip-lock bag.

Tips & Warnings
  • Hull - To hull a strawberry, remove the top portion containing the stem and leaves.
  • Dehydrated strawberries shouldn't be hard or crisp.
