PREP TIME

Preparation: 20 minutes

Baking: 6 hours

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 150°F.
  2. Wash the citrus fruit and cut into uniform slices, about 1/8" - 1/4" thick.
  3. Arrange on a baking tray over two paper towels to absorb the juices and continue layering the paper towels and fruit in a stack.
  4. To bake, arrange the slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. After 3 hours, place a sheet of parchment paper over the citrus slices and cover with another baking sheet. Hold both baking sheets together and flip so that the citrus slices bake evenly on both sides.
  6. Return to the oven for another 3 hours or until dry. They should be bendable and no juice should come out.
