To make these drying figs I suggest using the dehydrator, they are a real delight to prepare at this time of year. Thanks to the dryer we can preserve these goodies that the season gives us and in much shorter times than drying in the sun. Dried figs can be enjoyed as is or to make desserts such as fillings in tarts or biscuits, filled with dried fruit and then glazed with dark chocolate. Dried figs in the dehydrator are also an excellent idea to give as gifts at Christmas, packaged in little bags. They are a healthy and natural snack without added sugars and other ingredients like those you buy in the store.

Steps
Wash the figs well and dry them with kitchen paper. Cut them in half and place them in the dryer baskets with the inside facing upwards. Tear the bay leaves over the figs. Proceed with drying for approximately 48 hours at 104°-122°F (40°-50°C). When the figs are ready, let them cool in the baskets, then place them in closed jars or food bags. To dry whole figs, lengthen the drying times.
Cook’s tips
Dried figs can be stored in a dehydrator for up to 1 year.
