Peter, 
Not having a dehydrator - yet- I do persimmon leather by pulping out a bunch 
of persimmons(D.virginiana), then spreading a layer of plastic wrap over a 
cooking sheet, spread the persimmon pulp evenly over the surface of the 
plastic wrap, then stick in the oven overnight at 170 degrees.
When done, you can peel it right off the plastic wrap, then cut into strips 
and stick in your choice of storage receptacles - but I wouldn't make it 
airtight, as there may still be enough moisture to support mold growth, until 
the leather has a chance to fully dry out.
