On this Just a Merry Mocktail Monday, let’s chat about dehydrated fruit! How about a little garnish prep that, if stored properly, will last you a super long time? There are two methods you can do. First, being the obvious and using a food dehydrator. However, if you don’t have one, you’re not lucked out! You can use your oven! Just be sure to prop it open just a bit . I just wedge a wooden mixing spoon in the door and it works just fine!
Although it may seem time consuming, having garnishes already prepped makes not having fresh ingredients on hand for decorating your libation a non issue.
Sober Curator Pro Tip: Store in an airtight container for maximum freshness! Have you dehydrated fruit before? What’s your favorite method? Share your tips with us on the Gram! @thesobercurator, and I would LOVE to see your dried garnishes! Tag Us and Show ‘em Off! ????
Until Next Week!
To Your Health!
