Plum Dried Sweet and Sour

Our awesome neighbour Leslie gave us a bucket of plums a couple days ago. So we tried to eat as many as we could, I considered making jam and I gave away a lot but decided the best way to do this is to dehydrate and save them for yummy treats later. Sweet and sour dried plums. Yum!
