Remove the pineapple skin and core it, or drain the canned pineapple thoroughly.
Slice the pineapple into ½-inch thick rings.
Carefully lay the slices out onto the dehydrator sheets in a single layer, leaving enough space between each piece to ensure they dry evenly. See notes for oven instructions.
Place the sheets into the dehydrator for 6 to 8 hours.

Follow the instructions in your dehydrator manual for the best results. If your pineapple slices are thicker than ½-inch, they could take up to 14 hours to dry. Keep checking on the slices until they’re pliable but not sticky or too moist.
OVEN instructions: Preheat your oven to 175°F. Slice the pineapple into ½-inch thick rings. Carefully lay the slices out onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet in an even layer. Place the baking sheet into the oven for 6 to 8 hours.
Pineapples become sweeter when you dry them, so expect a sweet burst of tropical flavor, and don’t be tempted to add additional sweetener.
You can slice your pineapple slices as thick or thin as you want them. The thicker the slices are, the longer they will take to dry. The thinner the slices, the crispier they will become.
Dehydrated pineapple will be dry but pliable when it’s properly dried. It won’t be sticky but can be crispy if you slice it very thinly.

I absolutely love pineapples. Fresh or dehydrated, any way they are amazingly tasty. I love your easy going down to the facts blog. I'm interested in long term storage of pineapple. How long do you think these can last if vacuum sealed? Waiting for your reply.
I love, love, love dehydrated pineapple!!!
