We soaked the Kiwi in a bowl of water hoping it would wash off some of the "fuzzy" stuff. It washed some of it off.

Then we cut the ends off so they would be ready to slice 1/4-inch thick. You can slice them thinner (1/8-inch thick) with a mandolin, we used a good knife. The Kiwi was absolutely perfect, with no bruises, and no mushy spots.

We sliced these 1/4-inch thick or very close to 1/4-inch thick.

Next, you place the sliced Kiwi evenly onto your dehydrating racks. Luckily my racks have screens. I would worry the Kiwi may stick to the wire racks available these days as they dry.

We set the Excalibur Dehydrator at (135°F ) = (57°C) degrees. It’s so fun to see these shelves ready to dehydrate. Life is so good with the food we preserve.

Please check your own machine for the correct temperature to dry them. The time will always depend on the humidity in the room where you are dehydrating. Today these took sixteen hours to dry. I dried them until they were leathery, pliable, and would easily break. These are great for garnishes or fruit compotes. No chemicals or preservatives. It's a naturally healthy sweet and tart snack.
