Dehydrated Pineapple (How to Dry Pineapple)
Servings: 10 servings
Special Equipment
- 1 dehydrator or oven
Ingredients
- 1 pineapple pink or regular
Instructions
- Cut the pineapple into thin horizontal slices. Do NOT core the pineapple.
- Place the pieces in your dehydrator, or if your oven has it, the dehydration setting.
- Dehydrate for 4-6 hours, or until pineapple looks dried out.
- Make sure there is no moisture left in the fruit before storing in an airtight container.
Notes
- Any type of pineapple will work, it does not have to be pink
- Unfortunately you won’t be able to make the dried pineapple without a dehydrator or oven with a dehydrate function because most ovens don’t have a setting that is low enough. So if you try to dry it in your oven, it will cook your pineapple vs air drying it.
- There is a third alternative, but it comes with issues: you can sun dry them. Just place the slices outside in the sunshine on a hot day (if you are in a low humidity area) and turn them every 6 hours or so until completely dehydrated. The problem is you may find yourself hosting ants or other animals who may want a sweet treat.
