DEHYDRATED PINEAPPLE
This tropical fruit tastes like candy when it is dehydrated creating the perfect healthier alternative to snacking. Plus it is so simple to make you just have to be patient. Add it to trail mix, oatmeal, or just eat it as a yummy chewy standalone snack.
Equipment
- 1 dehydrator
Ingredients
- 1 Pineapple ripe
Instructions
- Lay the pineapple on it's side and cut off the top and the bottom about 1 inch in.
- Then stand it on end and try to slice just under the outside rind of the pineapple.
- Then go back around and remove any eyes still attached.
- Now that the fruit is left exposed you can decide if you want to cut it into rings or chunks.
- If you are cutting it into rings slice the pineapple in thin layers just like when you removed the top and bottom of the pineapple.
- Then use the knife or a round spoon to cut out the core in the center and pop it out of the ring.
- If you are going to cut it into chunks, stand it on end and slice down from the top on the outside of the central core. Then again cut into equal bite size pieces. You can also use the apple corer and chopper to cut rings into chunks and remove the core at the same time or, of course, use a pineapple peeler/corer.
- Place the pieces on the trays of the dehydrator leaving space between them all. Use as many trays as needed.
- Then turn the temperature to 135 degrees, put the lid on and start.
- They should be fully dehydrated in 10 hours give or take based on the thickness of your pieces.
