Yield Fills one standard baking pan

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 peaches, pits removed, halved or quartered
12 to 14 plums, pits removed, halved or quartered
10 to 11 apricots, pits removed, halved or quartered
10 plumcots, pits removed, halved or quartered
12 figs, halved
2 small bunches seedless grapes, removed from stems
2 tablespoons sugar, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 225 degrees. Line a baking pan with parchment paper (or a Silpat baking mat, if you're drying figs). Arrange fruit, cut sides up, spaced 1/2 to 1 inch apart, on pan. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon sugar over fruit; depending on fruit's tartness, add more sugar.
  • Transfer pan to oven; dry until fruit has shriveled, edges have dried, and centers are still juicy; timing will vary according to variety of fruit, ripeness, and size, 1 1/2 to 4 hours. If juices start to run, baste with juices every hour. Transfer pan to a cooling rack; remove from pan while still warm.

These dried fruits are a great way to use up extra fruit. I made a batch with some leftover berries and they turned out great.

These dried fruits are a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try dehydrating them for a shorter amount of time next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dried fruits didn't turn out as chewy as I expected. Not sure what went wrong.

These dried fruits are a bit too tart for my taste. I think I'll add some honey next time I make them.
