PRETREATMENT OF FRUIT
Pretreatment of fruit helps to save natural color, taste and flavour.
Here are few useful tips how to prepare fruit for drying:
Take 1/4 cup juice (natural will be prefered). Keep in mind, that juice
must match to prepared fruit. E.g. apple juice must be added when you
dry apples.
Add 2 cups of water to juice and dip pretreated fruit (see "Fruit pretreat-
ment table") for approximately 2 minutes into prepared liquid. Fruit may
also be immersed into fruit juice with honey.
Addings
Prepared products may also be sprinkled with poppy seeds,
sesame seeds or coconut crisps for making the taste piquant.
