How to Make State Fair Puprle Ribbon Dried Apricots

  1. Wash and halve 2 lbs of fresh, ripe apricots. Ensure the cut side faces downward.
  2. Preheat your dehydrator to 120°F (49°C). Arrange apricot halves in a single layer on the dehydrator trays, ensuring they don't overlap.
  3. Dehydrate at 120°F (49°C) for 1 hour.
  4. Increase the dehydrator temperature to 135°F (57°C). Continue dehydrating for 7 hours, or until the apricots are leathery and pliable.
  5. Remove apricots from the dehydrator and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.
