Drying is a traditional method of
preserving fruit, certain vegetables and
herbs.
It is important that fruit and vegetables
are ripe and not bruised before they are
dried.

To prepare food for drying:
–
Peel and core apples, and cut into
slices 0.5 cm thick.
–
Core plums if necessary.
–
Peel, core and cut pears into
wedges.
– Peel and slice bananas.
– Clean mushrooms, then either halve
or slice them.
– Remove parsley and dill from the
stem.
^ Distribute the food evenly over the
universal tray.
You can also use the Gourmet
perforated baking tray (if available).
