FRUIT ROLL-UPS
1.
Select ripe or slightly over-ripe fruits. Wash and remove blemishes, pits and skin.
2.
Puree in a blender. Add yogurt, sweeteners or spices as desired. The puree should be thick in consistency.
3.
Cover the dehydrator trays with plastic wrap.
4.
Pour 1-1/2 to 2 cups of the puree onto the covered trays. Carefully place the trays in the dehydrator.
5.
The edges will dry quicker than the center; pour the puree thinner at the center of the tray.
6.
The average dry time for fruit roll-ups is 4 to 6 hours.
7.
Once the fruit roll-ups are shiny and non-sticky to the touch, remove from dehydrator, cut into strips, roll
up and enjoy.
DRYING FLOWERS AND CRAFTS
•
Choose flowers that have reached their maximum bloom. At this stage the petals should be fully opened to
allow drying to occur faster.
•
Trim flowers so that leaves are removed and the stem is as short as possible.
•
Place flowers in single layers on the dehydrator trays with the flowers evenly spaced. This will ensure that
your flowers dry evenly.
•
Allow flowers to dry overnight in the dehydrator rotating the trays periodically. Dry on the lowest setting.
•
Dough art and beads can be dried in the dehydrator, temperatures may vary.
