What temperature do you dry apricots at?

Drying the Apricots Place the apricot halves in a single layer on each sheet of your dehydrator. Set the temperature to 140 degrees Fahrenheit and allow the apricots to dry for 18 to 24 hours until pliable, not crunchy.

How do I dry apricots in a dehydrator?

Let soak for 5 minutes, drain and lay out on trays. Fruits like peaches and apricots can be cut in half, pitted, then "turned inside out". Press the skin sides in so that the fruit side presses out and the pulp is more exposed to the air flow. The temperature you dehydrate fruits is usually between 125-135 degrees.

How can you tell if dried apricots are bad?

Some common traits of dried fruit going bad are discoloration (usually to a darker tone), hardness (they can become extremely chewy as they age, but can still be eaten as some actually prefer them this way) and loss of flavor (a stale or flavorless taste).

How do you dehydrate food outside?

Cut food into thin slices, less than one-half inch thick, and spread them out over the drying trays, allowing plenty of room for air to move around the individual pieces of fruit or vegetable. Add trays to the solar food dryer, and rotate 180 degrees each day until the food is completely dried.
