i know you guys use a dehydrator to dry your fruits. Its going on about 18 hours, i just started bagging some, and the upper levels on the dehydrator the bottom and tops of the fruits are cracker dry, but the middle of them is still, squishy, kind of soft. Not anywhere near like it is when fresh, but still.
should i give em another 6-12 hours in the dehydrator or just bag with a desiccant packet

If they're squishy and soft, keep them on the dehydrator. The desiccant is used to keep fruits dry, not to dry them out. Also you should rotate your trays next time you have a full load to avoid that.

gotcha. i kept them on the dehydrator but already bagged almost half of em. i think i might take em out of the bags to throw them back on the dehydrator just to make sure they don't rot or whatever. I mean, they they aren't wet, but i can tell they aren't "cracker" dry in the middle.
would you throw the ones you already bagged back on the dehydrator?

I usually run my dehydrator for two days at 110 degrees. Run yours until the seem cracker dry and then add a few hours. I have had them appear cracker dry, bagged them up, and 4 hours later they were limp and soft in the bag. Some moisture can be hiding insure them

Guess ill re-run the ones i bagged up tomorrow, hopefully opening them after sealing them doesn't ruin them when re bagged.

Don't rerun them if they are not soft. Just check though.

ill check on them tomorrow, like i said, the middles give a little but i can hear them crunch when i squeeze the middle. WHen they are really really dry, they snap in half. Ive never had ones this big though, so im not sure they would even get that dry. regardless, I REALLY would be pissed if they went bad.(97g)

I run mine at around 160F and they usually take 8-10 hours tops. You can cut really thick fruits in half to help them dry quicker as well.

I crank my dehydrator up all the way, no need to worry, as it won't get nearly hot enough to affect the potency of your precious mushies!
