How to dry slices of Orange

snowleopard61

Thank you all for the different perspectives and helpful suggestions. Midnightraven's particularly appeals, on the basis that it doesn't involve using the oven at all - could I just ask how long they take to dry that way? (Obviously I have Christmas in mind!)

it sounds a right faff written down but its not, honestly
it takes a few mins

depends on where you hang them as to how long they take
an airing cupboard would be ok but i would leave the door, not tight shut to start with as it may be too hot there

i use where the "spaceship" for our solar panels are as its not just so hot
but i would most definately do them today/tomorrow to be sure

i do mine in the summer
they will be darker than in a dehydrator though

the single one is a lemon slice air dried
the rest are dehydrated

prays this iant massive



it looks awful there, but it isnt really
here they are on jars of lemon curd

I think if you dry them in a dehydrator then pick something like a blood orange The colour comes out jewel like
If you want a more rustic look then air dry or slow oven is the way forward - much really depends on what look you want at the end...

Now where did I hide my dehydrator? Hmmm

Thank you, and they look gorgeous in the picture. A great idea decorating jars of HM lemon curd - will bear that one in mind too!
