Candied Strawberries

Candied Strawberries In Yogurt

Not sure what to do with all of your leftover summer pickings? Our Candied Strawberries recipe is the perfect solution. After sprinkling sliced berries with just a bit of sweetener, let your NESCO Dehydrator do the work. We love this crispy snack in trail mix, yogurt, or even on top of breakfast cereal.

Your Key Ingredient:

NESCO Dehydrator
NESCO Clean-A-Screen

Grocery Ingredients:

1 lb fresh strawberries
3 oz strawberry gelatin
1/2 cup powdered sugar

Or substitute:
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup lemon juice

 

Instructions:

  1. Wash strawberries and remove stems. Slice thinly.
  2. Sprinkle lightly with strawberry gelatin and powdered sugar, or dip in honey and lemon juice mixture. Honey/lemon yields chewy berries while strawberry gelatin/powdered sugar results in crunchy berries, similar to those found in store-bought cereal.
  3. Place slices on NESCO® Clean-A-Screens and place on your NESCO® Dehydrator trays.
  4. Dry 4 hours at 135° F until crisp.
