How to Dehydrate Apricots. If using frozen apricots, ignore steps 1, 2 and 3. First, prepare your fresh apricots by washing them, cut them in half, and remove the pits. Next we will syrup-blanch the apricots by preparing a mixture of one cup of sugar, 1 cup of light corn syrup, and 2 cups of water. Bring it to a boil then add no more than 2 pounds of prepared fruit to the pan and simmer gently for around 10 minutes. Let them cool in the syrup in the pan, for a good half hour. Lightly rinse with clean cold water. Arrange the apricots on your dehydrator trays, making sure they don't overlap.
