Instructions (6 steps)

01Wash strawberries and remove stems. (There are special strawberry hullers, but I just use a knife.)
02Slice the strawberries about 1/8 inch thick. Aim for uniform thickness so all of the slices will dry at the same rate. I find that cutting most large berries into four equal pieces is a good plan.
03In the dehydrator: Place sliced strawberries on trays, close together but not touching. Dry on 135ºF for 4 to 6 hours or until strawberries are leathery.
04In the oven: Place wire racks on a rimmed baking sheet. Place sliced strawberries on racks, close together but not touching.
05Set oven to 200 degrees or lower, with the ideal temperature being 135ºF. This will depend upon your oven. The bread proofing setting on newer ovens works well. On older ovens, you'll likely have to set it at the lowest temperature. Even then, you may need to prop the door open to prevent it from getting too hot. (You don't want to cook the strawberries!)
