Equipment

  • 1 Oven or Food Dehydrator
  • 2-3 baking sheets if using oven method
  • parchment paper if using oven method and baking sheets are not non-stick
  • serrated knife

Ingredients

  • 1-2 oranges sliced into ⅛th inch slices
  • 1-2 grapefruits sliced into ⅛th inch slices
  • 1-2 blood oranges sliced into ⅛th inch slices
  • 1-2 lemons sliced into ⅛th inch slices
  • 1-2 limes sliced into ⅛th inch slices

Instructions

  • Slice citrus fruits into thin ⅛th-inch to 1/16th-inch slices.
  • Arrange in a single layer on baking sheets lined with parchment paper, or on trays in a food dehydrator.
  • Dry the citrus fruit in the oven at 170 degrees for 3-6 hours, or in food dehydrator for 12 hours until hard and all moisture is removed.

Notes

  2. Thicker, heavier fruit like grapefruit could take slightly longer than lighter or more thinly sliced fruit like limes.
