The Best Way To Dry Oranges So They Stay Vibrant

Dried oranges are exquisite, easy to make, and require no specialized tools or equipment. And I’m sharing the secret for making dried oranges look almost as vibrant as fresh.

Slice oranges into 1/4-inch rounds using a sharp knife, pat them dry with a soft cloth or a paper towel, and place them in a single layer on a rack.

Tip 1

I set the dehydrator at 135° and dehydrated the oranges until they were almost dry, about 3 hours. Then I finished drying them on a rack on my kitchen counter.

Tip 2

Another way was to dry them in the oven at a low temperature. I took them out when they were just about dry and finished drying them on my kitchen counter.

Tip 3

Liberally sprinkle the sugar on the cut orange slices once they have been dried off with a paper towel and put on a rack.

Tip 4

Once oranges are dried, they can be stored in an airtight container. Jars with tight-fitting lids work well. Store them in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.

Tip 5

Drying oranges is such a festive and fun DIY! I hope you will dry oranges and use them this holiday season.
