Easy Oven Dried Fruit Recipe By Tasty

OVEN-DRIED FRUIT

Steps:

• Heat oven to 225 degrees. Line a baking pan with parchment paper (or a Silpat baking mat, if you're drying figs). Arrange fruit, cut sides up, spaced 1/2 to 1 inch apart, on pan. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon sugar over fruit; depending on fruit's tartness, add more sugar.
• Transfer pan to oven; dry until fruit has shriveled, edges have dried, and centers are still juicy; timing will vary according to variety of fruit, ripeness, and size, 1 1/2 to 4 hours. If juices start to run, baste with juices every hour. Transfer pan to a cooling rack; remove from pan while still warm.

OVEN-DRIED STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• Toss strawberries and sugar in a large bowl and let sit until berries start to release their juices, 25-30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 185°F (or the lowest possible setting, which may be 200°F). Spread out berries on a rimmed baking sheet lined with a nonstick baking mat and bake, rotating baking sheet about every 30 minutes, until berries are darkened in color and dried out around the edges but still slightly juicy in the center, 3-3 1/2 hours. Let cool on baking sheet.
• Do Ahead
• Berries can be dried 1 week ahead. Cover and chill.
