Cuisine: American
Servings: 4
- 1 pound strawberries top part cut off, halved, quartered
- 3 Tbs organic apple juice
Put strawberries and apple juice into a bowl and mix. Let the strawberries soak in the apple juice for 30 minutes and then drain.
Preheat the oven to it's lowest setting. Mine has a ”Warming” setting at 185 degrees.
Spread out the strawberries onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 3 1/2 hours. Make sure to rotate the cookie sheet about every 30 minutes during this time. Bake until the strawberries are dried out around the edges but still juicy in the center. If they still need to cook after the 3.5 hours, increase the temperature to 250 degrees and cook for 20 mins. ( keep an eye on them during this time) ( I ended up needing to cook them a bit longer)
Let cool on the cookie sheet. Makes ¾ cup dried fruit.
