Sun, Aug 05, 2007

Alton explores the world of home dried fruit. He offers a lesson on the use of sulfur and its effects on bacteria, why commercially marketed dried fruit is dipped in sulfur and examines options for bypassing the sulfur method for home drying optioning for a citric acid dip. Alton builds a dehydrator using a fan, fiberglass air filters, dehydrator tray liners and bungee cords. As an alternate, Alton demonstrates an in-oven method using a ceramic reptile heater, small fan, thermometer and ball of aluminum foil. Proper storage is explained and recipes using dried fruit are trail mix, savory and sweet compotes and fruit compote pies.
