There are many books covering the subject of drying fruit and we will not attempt to write one here.
Several drying methods exist and the object of all of them is to remove moisture from the fruit to extend the usable shelf life and improve portability.
- The oldest method is letting the fruit dry naturally in the sun. As it dries, the fruit will need to be protected from animals, insects and dust.
- The newest and most expensive is freeze-drying. There is now a model available for home kitchens, but the equipment cost is high.
- Between those two are food dehydrators which use fans and/or heated air.
The thinner the piece of fruit, the faster the drying cycle which yields better results. Many sliced fruits will exhibit enzymatic browning which does affect flavor and may need some type of treatment (citric acid, sugar, sulfites, blanching, etc) to prevent that.
After the fruit is dried, proper storage is critical for shelf life and flavor retention. It should be stored in an air tight container in a cool place and not be exposed to light.
