How to Dry Citrus Fruits: Limes Lemons Oranges Grapefruit and More! Drying Citrus Fruits for the Pantry!

Winter may be gloomy but it is also the season that brings us citrus fruits. With their bright colors and zesty flavors lemons oranges and other citrus fruits can bring sunshine to the darkest of days and thanks to their ability to be dehydrated you can enjoy these tangy fruits all year round.

One of the easiest ways to preserve citrus fruits is to dry them. This can be done in several ways. The easiest way is to bake them in thin slices in a convection oven.

The conditioning process is almost as important to maintaining freshness over the coming months. You should check your dried citrus fruits several times a day for a week after the initial dehydration to ensure that there is no moisture left in the fruit before placing it in your pantry for storage.
