How do you dehydrate preserved lemons?

Published in Dehydrating Lemons 1 min read

You can dehydrate preserved lemons by slicing them and using a dehydrator.

Here's a step-by-step guide:

  1. Preparation: Wash and thoroughly dry your preserved lemons.
  2. Slicing: Cut the lemons into 1/4 inch (6 mm) slices.
  3. Arrangement: Evenly space the lemon slices on your dehydrator trays.
  4. Dehydrating: Dehydrate the lemon slices at 125°F (52°C) for 18-36 hours. The exact time will depend on the thickness of your slices and the humidity.
  5. Storage: Once the lemons are fully dehydrated, store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This will help maintain their quality and prevent them from reabsorbing moisture.
