How do I dry apricots?

[desperatehousewife]

Got a load of tasteless fresh apricots. Have halved them and de-stoned them...in an oven on low for a long time? Would they be anything like proper dried apricots??

Not quite the same, but I left a plate of blueberries in teh airing cupboard, and 3wks later they aren't quite dried out yet but are starting to look like currants. I've had to pick them over from time to time and chucked 3 or 4 that were starting to go off.

IIRC, my mum had a cookbook that said that you could dry apple rings by leaving them in the oven on minimum all day with the door propped open.

Just found this 'recipe' via google. HTH

thanks so much!
