Dried Pears
We had some extra pears on our tree this year and I decided to dry them. Jake and I both like dried fruit and I have made them before and we liked them.
First I peeled and cut the pears in 1/8ths. Then I soaked them in acidulated water so they don't get brown. Place them on the racks of a food dryer or on racks in a low oven. I set my dryer at 145 degrees but I have done it in the oven on the lowest setting and it works well. You just do it for less time. They take about 12 hours to dry completely so they are chewy and not too moist.
Store in a air tight container for several weeks.
