Strawberries
Still-fertile varieties still offer ripening fruits. It is enough to wash the strawberries and leave them. Then pay them either with a knife or perhaps with an egg slicer. There is no need to adjust any further, you can do without sugar and lemon juice.
Apples
Peel the apples, get rid of the kernels and cut them into slices.Soak or spray them with lemon juice so that they do not turn brown. In addition to classic crosswords, you can try improved cinnamon variants.
1) Mix half a cup of lemon juice with a tablespoon of honey and soak the apple slices in the mixture. Fold in the dryer and sprinkle with a little cinnamon.
2) Flatten the slices in lemon juice into a dryer and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
Our tip: Do not throw away peeled peels and dry them separately, you can make tasty tea from them.
Cherries
Do you still have cherries left in the tree? You can dry them, even. But first you have toeck them out, which is a little more laborious. It's better if you let the fruit solidify in the freezer first. Alternatively, you can also dry the whole fruits and only after the juice has come out of them, squeeze the stones out and dry the fruits. After drying, they should be supple similar to raisins.
Bananas
Did you get bananas in action?Cut the banana into approximately 18 slices and soak in a mixture of half a cup of lemon juice and a tablespoon of honey. Then put in the dryer. Finished do not look maybe as magnificent as bought, but they taste much better.
Oranges
Peel the oranges, cut them into thin slices and fold them straight into the dryer. The taste of dried slices will pleasantly surprise you, and you can use the wheels, which do not dream until the holidays, as Christmas decorations.
How long to dry:
The length of drying depends on the thickness of the slices, affecting it by whether you have dung the fruit in honey. In general, expect 8 hours, so in the evening you can turn on the dryer and 'harvest' in the morning. For succulier fruits, the drying process can take twice as long. Always allow the dried fruit to cool down perfectly before it is stored in a basket or boxes.
