Drying apricots<\/h1>\r\n

Drying apricots requires a little more care than with other fruits, particularly in two respects: size and temperature<\/strong>. With the right preparation, however, it is possible to turn ripe apricots into a naturally sweet snack that is easy to store and convenient to take with you.<\/p>\r\n

If you\u2019d like to find out more about the general principles, in our A guide to drying fruit<\/a> You\u2019ll find guidance on choosing ingredients, cutting, temperatures and storage.<\/p>\r\n

Ingredients<\/h2>\r\n

Apricots galore<\/strong>, preferably of medium size, sound and at the right stage of ripeness.<\/p>\r\n

Procedure<\/h2>\r\n

The size of the apricots is important. If the longest side is roughly more than 4 cm<\/strong>, the inside of the fruit might take too long to lose all its moisture.<\/p>\r\n

In this case, it is preferable to Cut the apricots into slices about 5 mm thick or into smaller pieces<\/strong>, so as to ensure even drying.<\/p>\r\n

Apricots of a standard size, on the other hand, can be halved and pitted<\/strong>. Then place them on the racks of the\u2019home food dehydrator<\/strong><\/a> with the cut side facing upwards, leaving enough space for air to circulate freely.<\/p>\r\n

For this recipe It is not necessary to use baking paper or DrySilk<\/strong>: the apricot halves can be placed directly on the racks.<\/p>\r\n

Even spacing is particularly important with fleshy, water-rich fruits such as apricots: the airflow must be able to reach every piece effectively throughout the process.<\/p>\r\n

Programme<\/h2>\r\n

Set the temperature to around 50 \u00b0C<\/strong>, increasing the amount if necessary, depending on the size and ripeness of the fruit.<\/p>\r\n

With Biosec, you can use T4 at 50 \u00b0C or T5 at 60 \u00b0C<\/strong>, as a rough guide for 48\u201360 hours<\/strong>. To better understand the differences between temperature settings, ventilation and programmes, please refer to the guide to Dryset Pro programmes<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n

The times are never set in stone: the amount of water, the ripeness and the size of the apricots can affect them considerably.<\/p>\r\n

So please check them from time to time.<\/strong> If their appearance or consistency changes again between checks, it means they are still losing water.<\/p>\r\n

The final test is very simple: Gently press the thickest part of the apricot<\/strong>. It must be firm, and there must be no areas that feel particularly damp or soft.<\/p>\r\n

Once they have finished drying, place the apricots in a a tightly sealed glass jar<\/strong>, keeping them away from light and moisture. To ensure that the food dries properly whilst in storage, you\u2019ll find further advice in the guide on how to store dried food.<\/p>\r\n

If you usually prepare small quantities of fruit, a compact dehydrator such as Biosec Domus B5<\/a> It comes with 5 baskets; for larger harvests or larger quantities, Biosec Domus B10<\/a> It increases capacity to 10 baskets whilst retaining the same Biosec drying system.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
