How to Dehydrate Cranberries
Dehydrated cranberries are here to take your granola, baking, and salad game to the next level! But don’t be fooled – these are not your ordinary sweetened dried cranberries. Oh no, dehydrated cranberries bring a new level of tartness and crunchiness to the party.
Notable Equipment
- 1 Dehydrator
Ingredients
- Cranberries
Instructions
- 1. Blanch cranberries until skins pop open (1-2 minutes)
- 2. Cool by rinsing with cold water or immersing in a cold or ice water bath
- 3. Drain and arrange on a mesh lined dehydrating tray with enough room for air to circulate between the pieces (avoid over lapping)
- 4. Place in dehydrator and dehydrate at 125°F for about 20 hours
Notes
- A mesh liner is required for cranberries (otherwise they will fall through the trays)
- Cranberries are more susceptible to case hardening (outer layer dries, trapping juicy insides) so it's extra important to keep it low at the 125°F
- Dehydrating times may vary (the water content in the cranberries, as well as the humidity and altitude of where you live in impact the time)
