How to Dry Strawberries ~ preserve these precious spring berries long after the season has passed with this easy dehydrating technique.
Share:
Ingredients
- 1 pound strawberries ~ depending on the size of your dehydrator you may have to work in batches
Instructions
- Wash and dry your berries. Hull them, or slice off the green tops.
- Slice the berries about 1/8 inch thick. Try to get the slices as even as you can so that they dry evenly.
- Arrange the sliced strawberries on dehydrator trays, making sure they are not touching. This helps airflow and allows them to dry properly.
- Set dehydrator to 135 F (this is standard for fruits and vegetables, but be sure to follow your manufacturer's instructions for fruit/veggies) and allow to dry for 6-10 hours (the source I used suggested 8-10 hours, but mine seemed done by about 6, so I suggest checking them after about 5 or 6 hours and seeing how long they need). They should feel very dry, but not quite brittle, and there should be no noticeable moisture when you break them apart.
- Allow the dried strawberries to cool to room temperature before storing them. This prevents condensation and potential spoilage.
- Store the dehydrated strawberries in an airtight container or vacuum-sealed bag. A mason jar with lid will work, too. Keep them in a cool, dark place or in the refrigerator for longer shelf life. They will last up to a month or more, or you can freeze for longer storage.
