Ingredients
2lbsstrawberries
Instructions
Wash the strawberries and pat dry.
Remove the hulls and slice the strawberries using the fruit slicer. If you are using a knife to slice them, cut the slices about 1/8 inch thick. You want the slices to be as uniform as possible so that they dry evenly in the dehydrator.
Line each tray with the strawberry slices. Be careful not to overcrowd the trays. The warm air needs room to circulate.
Close the dehydrator and set on 135℉. Let the dehydrator run for a minimum of 6 hours but it could take up to 10. After 6 hours periodically check on them. They should feel a bit rubbery but not wet. They will firm up once they cool completely.
Once they are completely cooled. Store the slices in an airtight container and place them in a cool/dark place (like a pantry or cabinet).
