1!. Light-colored fruits such as apples, apricots, bananas and peaches need to be dipped in lemon juice before they are dried in your oven!. The acidic juice helps these fruits from turning dark brown!.
2!. No matter how you cut the larger fruit up- into quarter-inch slices or rings- or if you cut the smaller fruit in half- make sure the pieces are uniform in size!. This way, they'll all dry in the same amount of time!.
3!. If you prefer to dry small fruits like cherries or grapes whole, you'll need to vent the skins!. To do this, you'll need to make a small slice in the ends with a sharp paring knife to allow the steam to escape!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
