FaveCrafts 365 Drying Fruit for Crafting Part 2

March 25, 2011 by Maria

Slice it right! This video gets up close and personal with cutting fruit for drying. A brief review of the basics is also included. You can also dry fruit in an oven on very low temperature (around 200 degrees), but you can’t leave the oven unattended as you can when you use a dehydrator.  A quick tip is that you can find dehydrators at garage sales and thrift shops; you don’t have to purchase a new unit. Make sure you clean, rinse, and dry your trays after you complete your drying so you’ll be ready to go next time you need to dry naturals for your crafting.
