Rule of thumb: if you would eat the peel of the fruit in its natural state , you can eat it dried. Thin-skinned dried citrus peels can also be nice if you're into their slight bitterness, so feel free to leave lemons, limes, and oranges unpeeled, too.There are a few caveats here. Smaller fruits can be left whole or halved as desired. For example, strawberries can be halved or sliced into rings as shown in the photo above. Apricots can simply be halved and pitted.
The smaller or thinner each piece is cut, the quicker it will dehydrate, so be sure to cut each fruit variety into pieces of the same size. Feel free to vary the size from one fruit variety to another, though—you can always remove the tray of dried apples from the dehydrator if they're done before the tray of dried mango.we'll suggest using bottled lemon juice over fresh. This is one of them.
Depending on the type of the fruit, the size it's been cut, the humidity of the day, the power of your dehydrator, and, your fruit could be ready in as little as 6 hours or as much as 30. Thinly sliced apples and citrus will be crisp, and become more brittle as they cool to room temperature. Grapes, cherries, strawberries, and other berries will be leathery, like raisins. Mangoes, pineapples and the like will be leathery and pliable.
