Estimated from the ingredients, for the finished dried product. Actual values vary with the produce you use and how far you dry it.

Ingredients

  • 2.3 kg lemons (about 23 medium)
  • Lemon Juice
  • Water

Tablespoons here are 15 ml. An Australian tablespoon is 20 ml — use three teaspoons instead.

Instructions

  1. Wash and slice your lemons into 6 mm slices.
  2. Mix equal parts lemon juice and water and submerge the sliced lemons. This helps keep the lemons looking better for longer.
  3. Place the sliced lemons onto dehydrator trays and dehydrate between 46 °C for 27 hours. (Dehydrating your lemons at a lower temperature will maintain the colour as lemons like to brown during the dehydration process. The flavour profile is still very similar depending on which route you decide to take.)
  4. Once your lemons are completely dry and slightly pliable, store in an airtight container with an oxygen absorber in a cool dark place.
