Drying the Dragon Fruit Harvest
There was a bit of chat a while ago about drying Dragon Fruit, so I am going to dry some of the 40-odd Dragon Fruit that are ripening all at once on my vine. I plan to just use my oven, since I don't have a dehydrator, and I suspect air drying with the humidity as it is won't be too successful. Has anyone got any tips or pointers about what I should and shouldn't do?

I'll bring some to the next GV. They're in the dehydrator now.

No tips but I’d love to see the outcome and taste tests verdict.
