Directions
Remove the pit from each apricot and cut them into 8 pieces.
In a large bowl, pour the water and lemon juice and mix well.
Put inside the apricots pieces. This will prevent them from browning.
Drain them.
Place the apricots on a baking sheet.
Cover your apricots with insect netting to prevent insects from getting in.
Place the apricots in a sunny and well-ventilated place for a few days, depending on the humidity level and the amount of sunlight. Place the trays about 1 meter above the ground to allow good airflow and faster drying. Don't leave them outside overnight, as cool evening air can cause the apricots to absorb moisture again.
Ready when they are dry, but still slightly soft.
Place in an airtight container.
You can use dried apricots during your hikes or in energy bars, muesli, on pies, for jams, muffins, biscuits, cakes, salads, etc.
