Raspberries
Raspberries are one of the seasonal berry fruits that belong to our lifestyle as they contain the least amount of carbohydrates while still offering a lovely flavor.
The downside of raspberries is that they do not stay fresh for a very long time after harvesting. Therefore we try to use them as soon as they are ripe.
But comes the season when you get the best ripe flavor and lots of them, and if you are like me, try to find the best way to preserve them for the whole year.
And precisely for this comes our dehydrating recipe.
Dehydrating your raspberries will capture the ripe raspberry flavor and preserve your raspberries for the whole year.

Dehydrated Raspberries
How do dehydrated raspberries taste?
The taste of dehydrated raspberries is delicious. With the first bite, you get almost no taste or flavor, but the inside will surprise you with all the sweetness and chewiness.
How long does it take to dehydrate raspberries?
To dehydrate whole raspberries takes much longer than slices of strawberries for its water content. After approximately 10 to 12 hours and swapping the trays every 2 to 3 hours, I had my raspberries perfectly dry.
If I had planned to preserve them for a more extended period in a mason jar, I would probably add an extra 2-3 hours to ensure they will not go bad after a while.
At what temperature to dehydrate raspberries?
After a few experiments, I found that 70 Celsius or 160 Fahrenheits is a perfect temperature to dehydrate your raspberries.
How to condition dehydrated raspberries for storage?
Conditioning or curing your dry fruits before they are stored for longer helps in preventing the dried fruits from getting bad sooner than you might have imagined.
With conditioning for a week, the dry fruits take out some moisture from fruits that have not been thoroughly dried.
To condition your berries, place the dehydrated raspberries into a mason jar and gently shake daily to separate the pieces for the conditioning to work. Check for moisture as well. After about a week, you can store them for longer.

Dehydrate for 10 to 12 hours, making sure you swap the trays every two to three hours.
