Lock in that delicious seasonal flavor. The taste of the warmer months is never far away with these dehydrated strawberries. Pimms anyone?
Ingredients
Scale
- 500g fresh, ripe strawberries
Instructions
- Wash and pat dry strawberries with a paper towel.
- Remove the core of each strawberry and cut it into 2-3mm slices using a small sharp knife.
- Lay strawberry slices flat in a single layer without touching on the dehydrator trays.
- Turn the dehydrator on to the dried fruit setting (normally the lowest setting or approx. 52C) and leave to dry for 8 -10 hours or until there is not a hint of moisture. Depending on the size of your strawberries they might need less or more time to dehydrate. After 6 hours, I check on them hourly and asses if the dehydrated berries are ready or not.
- Once cool and at room temperature, store in an airtight container.
Notes
The best way to store dried figs for long-term storage is simply in a Mason jar or airtight container in a cool dark place. I use Kilner preserving jars to store my dried fruit. Clip-top jars with a rubber seal are great for keeping food airtight. After a day or two, check for any excess moisture in the jars, a continue to check each day for the next week.
Dehydrated strawberries last up to 6 months if dehydrated and stored correctly.
