Dehydrated Star Fruit

Step 1

Wash the star fruit to remove any dirt.

Step 2

Slice the star fruit in ¼ slices.

Step 3

Place the sliced star fruit pieces on a dehydrator tray. Do not let the fruit slices overlap or touch or they will stick together as they dry.

Step 4

Fill all of the drying trays with the sliced star fruit. Stack the drying trays on top of the dehydrator base and place the lid on top of the last tray. Turn the dehydrator on. If using a dehydrator that has an adjustable temperature setting turn it onto 135 F. When drying at 135 F. it will take between 5 to 12 hours to completely dehydrate star fruit slices.

Step 5

Dehydrate the star fruit until all of the pieces are completely dry to the touch. The fruit will be slightly bendable when done.

Step 6

Completely cool the dried star fruit slices before storing the dehydrated star fruit in an airtight container.

Step 7

Conditioning the dehydrated star fruit is recommended.

Step 8

Store the dried star fruit pieces in an air tight container or glass mason jar.
