Dehydrating Citrus
Like many other types of fruit you can dry citrus like oranges, lemons and limes. It makes for a interestingly chewy product that can be very tart and biting. While not my favorite type of dried produce it can make for an interesting component of a homemade trail mix or camping food.
Drying out citrus is a lot like drying other produce with some of the same basic steps. Step 1 Select only the best ripe citrus like you would with other types of fruit and carefully wash. Step 2 Next slice the citrus into even quarter inch thick slices and then cut those slices in half again so you have a bunch of half slices. Sometimes you will have to remove seeds before you begin drying. Step 3 After you have the half slices you still need to completely remove the rind so you just have the actual fruit itself. Step 4 Place on the dehydrator trays with space in between each slice and dry for 6-8 hours depending on your unit. Step 5 Place dried slices in a jar with a good seal so they don’t go bad and enjoy. |
