Drying Fruit


Recommended Posts

I think I'd go with vacuum sealed bags. Jars take more room to store, can be broken, ...and lot of air space in them. BUT...I would not seal in vacuum until I'd made sure there was no moisture in the thicker pieces. I store for a few days in ziplock with moisture absorbing packets. Stir and check to make sure none will spoil the whole batch. Then do them up for longer storage. I also would put into freezer for just a bit....to make sure any eggs are killed. But with no oxygen, perhaps not needed.

 

MtRider ....don't have a vacuum sealer :shrug:

I soak dip bananas in lemon juice before placing on the tray. They are only slightly tacky....definitely not "sticky" when they're finished. If you live in high humidity, it might make a difference. They should snap when bent in half. ....They kinda sound like poker chips when clattering together.

 

MtRider ......BEWARE of eating too many of these sweet chips....they rehydrate in your GI tract. :unsure:

There is no humidity here I have to use lotion and chapstick year round and twice in the winter LOL. I am used to the deep south...B'ham, AL low humidity is 75% there here high humidity is 40%.

 

Maybe I just didn't dry them long enough. Oh well they are in the freezer now. Will dry the next batch longer. Next up...pears.
