DRYING PEACHES AND NECTARINES
Treat peach halves (without skin) with sulfur. For steam
and water blanching, leave the fruit whole then pit and
halve after blanching. Treat with sulfur for 2 to 3 hours,
steam for 8 minutes or blanch in water for 8 minutes. Dry
10 to 24 hours in a dehydrator. Drying times can be reduced
by cutting the fruit into slices. Properly dried fruit
is soft and pliable with no moist area in the center when
cut.
