Ingredients
4-5
oranges
1
cup
sugar
2
cups
water
1
tablespoon
lemon juice
A handful of mint leaves
Instructions
Slice the oranges into ¼-inch thick slices.
Make a simple syrup by combining sugar and water in a pot and bring to a simmer until sugar is dissolved.
Add lemon juice and let the mixture cool.
Pre-soak the orange slices in the syrup for about an hour.
Preheat your dehydrator or oven to 130°F (54°C).
Drain the orange slices and arrange them in a single layer on the dehydrator trays or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Dehydrate for 6 to 12 hours or until they are fully dehydrated but not crispy.
Let them cool before storing.
Notes
The thinner the orange slices, the faster they will dehydrate. Aim for slices about ¼ inch thick.
Always preheat your dehydrator or oven before starting the dehydration process for optimal results.
Be patient. Dehydrating is a slow process and trying to speed it up could result in unevenly dehydrated oranges.
Store your dehydrated oranges in an airtight container in a cool, dark place to maintain their flavor and texture.
Dehydrated oranges can be rehydrated by soaking them in water or juice for a couple of hours before use.
