acid prior to dehydration. Dip the fruit in the solution for two minutes. Drain
on paper towels and place in
drying trays.
Lemon, Pineapple or Orange Juice

Ascorbic Acid
Crystalline ascorbic acid may be obtained from drug stores or from stores
selling canning supplies. Mix 1 tsp.
per quart of water.
