Honey Dip

This form of dipping is quite popular. The honey makes the
fruit much sweeter. It will also add calories. Take 3 cups of
hot water and dissolve one cup sugar. When mixture cools
to lukewarm add 1 cup honey. Dip your fruits and remove
with slotted spoon. Fruits should be drained thoroughly
prior to dehydrating.
With any dipping procedure blot dry with paper towels be-
fore dehydrating. You do not want to prolong the drying
cycle with excess moisture.

Blanching

This Pretreatment procedure can be done in two ways. By
boiling water or steaming the foods.
With Tough Skinned fruits this is the procedure of choice.
These types of fruits include plums , grapes, cranberries
etc . You boil fruits in water for 1 to 2 minutes. This allows
the skin to develop fissures in the skin and subsequently
reduces drying times.
