How to make homemade prunes easy recipe. Preserve fruit without canning.

Good morning KZread friends!
It’s finally time to harvest our plums!!! And boy do we have a lot of em!
So excited to share with you ways to preserve them.
Today we’re making prunes
I know I know.... prunes sound like something our great grandmothers would make us eat to keep us regular. But these little gems are totally underrated!!
And they’re incredibly easy to make.
No added sugar or preservatives. I promise this insanely simple recipe with change your mind about prunes:)
All you need is
About 50 plums
1 lemon (juice and zest)
A dehydrator or oven that can go as low as 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
Wash your plum well.
Cut in half along natural seam
Add in zest/ juice
Mix and let sit about 20 min
Place in dehydrator cut face up adding bits of zest that have stuck to the bowl.
Turn on dehydrator
Rotate racks and flip plums after 5-6 hours
Check again at about 10 hours
Depending on your dehydrator and size of your plums prunes will take 11-16 hours.
They should not have liquid come out when you squeeze them or glisten with moisture. But still be pliable to touch.
Store in a airtight container and
Enjoy for up to 6 months!
Cheers:)
