my partners just arrived with a hug bag of discovery apples which don't keep, does any one make apple rings with out a dehydrator. I could light the stove in the kitchen. Do you coat them to stop the browning please?

when she did them in the Wartime Kitchen and Garden programme she put them in a jar full of smoke from a sulphur candle

What do you do then, light the blue touch paper and stand well clear

Folk in my area will string them up (spaced apart slightly) and stretch them above wood cookstoves for warmth. First, a quick dip in some water with a good squirt of lemon juice will stop the yellowing.

Thanks i'll have a go tomorrow, already made some plum fruit leathers will try black berries as well tomorrow.

Just had another idea I could cook a few and make hedgerow fruit leather they would add sweetness without sugar.

I have made these by drying them in the oven , separated on trays. Takes about 6hrs at low temp for rings 1/4 com thick (longer and they are crispy, but still nice)

I soak them in brine for 5mins first and then pat them dry.
