Perhaps apricots - cut them in half, dip in water with a squeeze of lemon juice to stop them going brown & pop them in. Check every couple of hours... possibly 8 hours. I also do tomatoes. Slice thickly . Dry until bendy but not crisp. Pop into some good olive oil and yummo for winter. I am not sure about kiwi fruit – I suspect that it would just go dry. Apples and bananas might go well or mango or pawpaw. | |
