Do not use wax paper or aluminum foil. Remove leather from tray while still warm and roll up. For storage up to six weeks, roll in wax paper or plastic wrap, close and twist ends and store in refrigerator. For longer storage, roll each strip in wax paper or plastic wrap, seal in glass jars and store in a dark, constantly cool place. Test for dryness to ensure that enough moisture has been removed to make it impossible for moulds and bacteria to grow and cause decay.
Condition produce after taking it from the dehydrator.
Remaining moisture may not be evenly distributed among the pieces because of size or location in the dehydrator. Conditioning is the process used to equalize this moisture among the pieces of produce. Seal containers and let stand for 7-10 days. Excess moisture in some pieces will be absorbed by drier pieces. Shake daily to separate pieces and check for condensation.
