• Slice your citrus fruits into 1/4" slices. Try to be as uniform as possible so each slice dries at the same time.
• Lay Citrus on your pan or rack in a single layer.

If Using A Dehydrator

• Turn dehydrator on to lowest temperature and set timer for 6 hours, insert citrus into dehydrator.
• Check your citrus at the 6 hour mark. Times will vary based on many things including humidity, temperature of dehydrator, and thickness of slices.
• Slices should be crisp and no longer tacky to the touch. If not, return to the dehydrator and add more time.

If Using The Oven

• Turn the oven on the lowest temperature possible, and insert the pans of citrus slices. If your oven's minimum temperature is still in the upper 200's (Fahrenheit), you may want to leave the oven door cracked to keep the fruit from baking before it dries out.
• Check your citrus at the 2 hour mark. Flip over to ensure even drying. Check citrus every 2 hours and flip until slices are crisp and no longer tacky to the touch.

If Preserving for later food use

• Once the fruit had dried, store in an air container. Fill about 2/3 full. DO NOT pack too tightly. The fruit needs space to move around.
• Condition the fruit by shaking the container once a day for at least a week. If slices start to stick together or moisture is seen in the jar, remove from jar and dehydrate again, then start the conditioning process over.
