Ingredients
  • 1-3 pineapples, clean, and sliced 1/2 inch thick
Instructions
  1. Wash the outer rinds carefully and thoroughly. Cut the top off if using fresh pineapple.

  2. You slice the spears into 1/4 to 1/2 inch pieces and place them on the dehydrator racks.

  3. I set my Excalibur Dehydrator at (135°F) = (57°C) degrees.

  4. Be sure and check your brand of dehydrator for the temperature that is required.

  5. These took about 9 hours.

  6. I like to dry mine so they are still a little pliable but not too crispy.

  7. I place them in quart jars and use my FoodSaver to remove the air from the jars. These are a great healthy snack!

How To Condition Your Fruit or Vegetables
  1. If you live where it is HUMID: “To condition the fruit, take the cooled, dried fruit and pack it loosely in plastic or glass jars. Seal the containers and let them stand for 7 to 10 days. The excess moisture in some pieces will be absorbed by the drier pieces. Shake the jars daily to separate the pieces and check the moisture condensation.” https://nchfp.uga.edu/how/dry/pack_store.html

    I used live in Southern Utah the DRY DESERT: I set my fruit and vegetables on my countertop for 5-7 days. Ten days is even better to ensure everything is dry before using your FoodSaver unit.
