Equipment

  • Cutting board or tray
  • Sharp knife
  • Dehydrator
  • Canning jar with canning lid to close tightly
  • Non-stick dehydrator tray liners optional
  • Spatula or utensil to remove fruit from trays

Ingredients

  • 1 small Watermelon

Instructions

  • Wash watermelon. Remove rind and seeds.
  • Slice watermelon into thin slices, about 1/8" thick or so.
  • Lay out slices on dehydrator trays.
  • Dehydrate at ~145 degrees F until completely dry. (Will be sticky, just not moist.)
  • Allow dehydrator to cool down completely before putting dehydrated watermelon into a glass canning jar with a tight lid to keep out moisture. It will stick together in storage!
