[show all]Alton revisits the topic of dehydration with a new kind of food: fruit. For those concerned with selecting fresh fruits and only in season, dehydration can allow them to enjoy the flavor of those fruits for a far longer period. And dehydrating fruit at home can avoid certain commercial preservatives such as sulfur, that can be hazardous to those with asthma. Alton shows how easy it is to dry fruit cut into small pieces or large ones, using a version of the Blowhard 5000 (it debuted in a previous episode) to make Dried Fruit. Then he uses that dried fruit to make Trail Mix, Sweet Fruit Compote, Savory Fruit Compote and finally Individual Fruit Compote Pies.
