I bought a food dehydrator so I can dry my herbs and some fruits in season. Yesterday was my first time to try drying some mangoes. Mangoes are in season and very cheap in the store for only 49 cents a piece. So I sliced 9 mangoes thinly and dehydrate them for about 10 hours. I thought I did good on my first dried mango, it turnd out too dry and crisp. I had a mango chips instead of a candied dried mango that my husband loves to munch.
The mango chip is good, a little bit crunchy and I love it, except that my husband will not enjoy it, so this morning, I made another batch. I still have 3 mangoes left and an apple. Will try to dehydrate them for 5 to 8 hours only and see if I will make it right this time. I made a thicker and bigger sliced. The apple, I sliced it thinly, squeezed some lime juice to stop it from browning, drain and added some cinnamon powder for flavor.

If have a lots of fruits on your hands, try drying them out. Dried fruits are delicious, healthy snacks that can be stored for a long time.
Parang instant dried mangoes from Cebu. :-) It's my first time to read about a dehydrator.
