Cherry Pineapples
Drain canned sliced pineapples and maraschino cherries on paper towels. Place pineapples on trays with cherry in center of each. Dry 8-10 hours at 135° (off brand slices with smalled center hole work best).
Candied Strawberries
Slice into 3/8 inch slices. Optional: sprinkle lightly with dry strawberry jello, powdered sugar, or dip in honey/lemon juice mix (1/4 cup honey mixed with 1/4 cup lemon juice). Place on tray and dry 4-10 hours at 135° until crisp.
Orange Crisps
Slice unpeeled oranges into 1/8 to 1/4 inch slices. Dry 6-15 hours at 135° until crisp. Rind easily separates from orange meat for snacking or powder rind or meat for natural sugar or spice flavoring.
Honey & Banana Chips
Simply slice bananas 1/8 to 1/4 thick. Place on trays and dry 8-20 hours at 135° until chewy. The greener the banana the crisper the chip: the riper the sweeter. They’re delicious plain and natural. (Option: Dip slices into 1/4 cup honey mixed with 1/4 cup lemon juice. Pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle lightly with nutmeg. This option will double the drying time).
