Ingredients
2.2 pounds fresh peaches
Instructions
Rinse the peaches thoroughly to remove any impurities. Pat them dry and weigh to ensure correct amount.
Slice the peaches. You may quarter them first, cutting around the seed core, or slice directly around the pit. Peeling the peaches beforehand is optional.
Set the dehydrator to a medium heat setting, between 135 – 145 Fahrenheit (57- 62 Celsius).
Arrange the peach slices on the dehydrator trays, ensuring they do not overlap to allow even drying.
Dry the peach slices for 8-14 hours, depending on desired chewiness or crispiness. For longer storage, opt for 10-12 hours.
Once dried, remove the peach slices from the trays and store them in an air-tight container or zip-lock bag.
