  • Page 6 If desired, fruit can be pretreated to preserve its natural color. Add 1½ teaspoons of lemon juice to each 1½ cups puréed fruit. See the Fruit Drying Guide to determine which fruits will benefit from pretreatment. The natural sweetness of fruit is intensified with drying. However, if your preference is for a sweeter fruit roll, you can add honey, maple syrup, corn syrup, or sugar to the puréed fruit.

  • Page 7: Drying Vegetables

    Drying Vegetables Vegetables dry much faster than fruits. At the end of the drying period, moisture loss is rapid. As a result, vegetables need to be checked often towards the end of the drying time to prevent overdrying. Food turns brown when it is overdried. When drying smaller vegetables, such as peas or carrots, it is recommended that you use a mesh screen.* A mesh screen will help prevent smaller foods from falling through the grates in the tray during dehydration.
