Homemade Mandarin Peels

Don't let your Mandarin Peels go to waste.

Before peeling, make sure to clean all the Mandarin oranges thoroughly.  I used Apple Cider Vinegar to soak and clean the Mandarins. Dry the Mandarins prior to peeling.

2 big trays of Mandarin peels

Pop into the dehydrator and leave it for 16 hrs or more depending on your dehydrator model or until the peels are fully dehydrated.
