Making Dried Fruit

By: Tina Columbus

Dried apple and orange slices make wonderful decorations for the home, especially during the holidays. They also make pretty and fragrant gift package decorations. When they are placed around candles, especially bakery-style candles, they give a nice country look. Dying fruit is a fun process. We will go through the oven-drying method for this article.
To dry apple slices using the oven method, core your apples and slice them about 1/4 inch thick. In order to prevent them from oxidizing and turning brown during the process, dip the slices into a solution of 2 cups lemon juice and 3 tablespoons salt. Make sure the slices are well soaked for about 15 minutes. After you remove them, pat them dry with paper towels and place them on cookie sheets and dry for about 6 hours at 150 degrees. Keep the oven door slightly ajar to ensure good air circulation. Turn the slices when they start to curl.

For oranges, slice them about 1/4 inch thick and gently squeeze out as much of the moisture as possible without squeezing and misshaping the slices. Then place the slices on a cookie sheet and dry for about 6 hours at 150 degrees. As with the apples, keep the oven door slighty ajar for air circulation.

After they are dried, the slices can be combined with fragrant spices such as cinnamon sticks, allspice, and anise stars in a decorative bowl for a wonderful scented display.
