Oh dear, yes I forgot that bit…
I usually use lemon juice but the last time I bought apples for drying, limes were on the $1 a bag trestle. So I used those.
I have a very large stainless steel bowl with about 1 liter of water in it and some lemon/lime juice in it ( the qty depends on what I have on hand…) so as I peel them and slice them they get dropped into that. Then I drain them and mix them into the caster sugar ( in my case brown sugar pulverised inside my food processor) and cinnamon. If I feel like it I add cloves too .
I do the lemon thing with apricots and bananas as well, but have no clue if it really helps or not…
