Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs strawberries fresh
  • 1/2 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 200°F.
  • Wash and dry the strawberries.
  • Cut off the green, leafy tops of the strawberries and slice them lengthwise.
  • Place the slices in a bowl and mix with the lemon juice. This will minimize discoloring throughout the drying process.
  • Lay the strawberries on a sheet pan with a little bit of space in between.
  • Dry them for approximately 4 hours. Open the oven for a minute every hour or so to allow the humid air to escape. They are done when they have shrunk in size and are thoroughly dry. Some may not be hard and crisp, but that is ok.
  • Store the strawberries in a covered jar.
