Prep Time 10minutes
Equipment
Food Dehydrator or Oven
Ingredients
Ripe Figs
Instructions
Wash figs and dry throoughly. Cut figs in half.
Food Dehydrator Instructions
Place skin side down in single layer on food dehydrator racks, leaving space around them (do not crowd, they should not be touching).
If you have a dehydrator that you can adjust temperature, set to 135F. If you don't that's ok, just turn it on. Dehydrate for 6 to 8 hours or until figs are completely dry to the touch and chewy when eaten.
Let cool completely before storing in airtight container. These will store well for about 2 years in a cool, dark location.
Oven Instructions
Heat oven to lowest temperature possible. We are aiming for 135F, but if your oven doesn't go that low you may need to leave the door cracked open so figs don't cook instead of dehydrate.
Place figs skin side down on baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space around them (do not crowd, they should not be touching).
Bake for 6-10 hours (time will completely depend on humidity, size of figs and oven temperature). During this time, flip the figs every once in awhile
Let cool completely before storing in airtight container. These will store well for about 2 years in a cool, dark location.
Notes
Dehydrating times will vary greatly depending on the humidity, size of figs and temperature of dehydrator or oven.
