Dehydrated Fruit

 
Dehydrated Fruit

The fruit is cut and peeled then placed in a tub or large container. Water is heated and as much sugar as possible is dissolved into the water. The tubs of fruit are then covered with the 30-60% (Bricks) sugar syrup and let set for around seven days. During these seven days the sugar water exchanges with the lower viscosity water in the fruit and the water from the fruit is thereby extracted.

Once the fruits are partially dried this way then they are air dried to complete the drying process. Fruits typically dried this way are Mango, Pineapple, Papaya, Guava, and others
