2. Rotate trays once or twice during the
dehydration process.
3. Verify that food on the trays does not block
air flow through the tray stack.
Over heating or

Fruit Leather Dehydration Tips
Making Fruit leather is very easy. Start by thoroughly washing the fruit in cold water and remove any
stems or leaves left on the fruit. Remove the peel skin pits, or seeds as necessary. Then just puree the
fruit or fruit combination of your choice, and add just enough liquid to the blender to make a smooth
thick pure e Honey, fruit juice or water can be used but don‘t make the mixture too thin or it won‘t
stay put on the dehydrator shelf. With fruits that have a high moisture level little or no liquid needs be
added at all
