- Cut each apricot in half and remove the pit. Place halves in a large bowl with the water and lemon juice.
- Let them soak for 10 minutes.
- Drain and lay flat on a baking sheet lined with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel and pat dry.
- Press down the halves until they are flat.
- Arrange in dehydrator trays skin side down.
- Dehydrate at 135°F for 12-24 hours. The time will vary based on the size of the apricot and the dehydrator.
To Dry Apricots in the Oven
- After Step 4 above, place apricots on baking sheets or jelly roll pans, and put them in the oven at 175°F for 10-12 hours. Rotate pans and flip the apricots over at the halfway point of the drying time.
Notes
- These apricots are not treated with sulphur dioxide, which is a preservative that will keep the apricots their orange/yellow color.
- Apricots in the lemon solution will dry to a rusty brown/orange color.
