This is a before shot of the figs. I will show the finished product tomorrow.

Looking forward to the day I have enough fruit to dehydrate! 
These look fantastic, waiting on tomorrow's new pics!  Thanks for sharing.

Good luck Art. It may take longer than a day. Maybe you should try a solar dryer.

Bugs, I will let them dehydrate all night. We'll see in the morning. If they are any good, I will make some for you.

Thanks Art. I will have to come up for sure.

Been dehydrating bananas for a while with great success, but never dehydrated figs. Good luck, Art.

Good luck with this, I am curious to hear how it turns out. I am hoping to try this year for the first time too. My wife bought me a dehydrator for Christmas because we love and eat so many dried figs and she was hoping we could make our own.

I'm anxious to hear how they turn out, Art. I dry apples, pears, and persimmons (really good!) and would love to try figs. Thanks for posting.

Mine take about 12 hrs when the figs are cut in half. I love them dried, the wife - not so much compared to fresh. 

I couldn't be more happy with the way they came out. They are better than I had thought they would be.
They dehydrated for 12 hrs. at 135 degrees in the dehydrator.
My only problem is trying to keep my wife away from them. They're not going to last long.

To my taste they're best at 85 degrees or less.  If you have a thermostat set it low, otherwise add empty trays in an effort to keep the temps as low as possible.  Or see if you like the cooked taste better   :)

I often only partially dry them just to concentrate the flavor.  Trader Joes has only had Brown Turkey figs so I'm drying some of those to see if it will improve them.  I hear watermelon is great dehydrated.  I'm trying that Monday.

Bob, I will have to try that later. Do you know how long they will store?

Art, 
Fantastic result! Yummy yummy! :-)

Art,

Did you cut them in half, quartered or sliced? I know the thickness and amount of moisture can also determine how long it takes to dry them. I haven't dried figs, but like others I dry bananas, apples, beef jerkey, peaches, zucchini, and bread. I was just curious how you sliced them. Thanks!

Jenn,

I did all of the above. Cut in half, quartered, and cut in half and kind of smashed to make a leather. They all came out good.

Art, they really look yummy! GOOD WORK

Art,

This is a nice job you did!
Some varieties come out very well here (no cuts) as they seem to loose moisture more rapidly.

Art,

They look great, well done.

Nice, Good job and great pictures! 

Art,

See what you did?
You took nice big plump juicy figs and made them smaller. What where you thinking?;)

Nice job, thanks for posting.

Thanks Bob. I have them in the refrigerator for now. The way my wife eats them they won't last long.

Yessiree, they look great. Just another one of the things I aspire to do some day. Gotta love the Nesco.

Calvin, I'm surprised at how good they were. I have another batch dehydrating right now.

Art, I don't think they'll last much more than one week.

That is, after you've picked the last fresh fig.
