In Reply to: I would like to order dried lime, lemon, grapefruit, apple, etc. slices to make wreaths and/or craft items. Do you know where these can be ordered from? posted by Judy Wheeless on September 20, 2000 at 12:02:00:
: : : Can anyone give me a few hints...I found some instructions for making dried fruit but you have to put it in your oven for 110 degrees and check and turn it every 5 hours...i don't want to keep my oven on for that long nor do i have a food dehydrator...
: : : Can I just slice fruit and set it out or will it brown funny or is there a faster way???? Any hints would be appreciated!
: : : Thanks!
: : One of the craft books I have says to slice your fruit to 1/4", arrange on baking sheet, separating slightly. Place in 200 degree oven for about 2 hours. Remove when fruit is leathery. Apple slices should be soaked in 1 qt. water with 2 tbsp. lemon juice prior to baking to prevent discoloration. If your oven has a fan, keep it on during the baking to remove humidity as the fruit dries.
: : Hope that helps!
