dried pears

Yesterday I started drying our pears.

We use a food dryer that my grandpa built  many years ago, which was handed down to me {a long time ago}. It is a "vintage" food dehydrator that still works great, even after all these years and a LOT of use.

Our way of drying fruit is simple and nutritious:

Peel and core the fruit.

Cut into thin slices.

Arrange in a single layer on the screens.

Place screens in dryer.

Remove when dry. 

{It takes several hours. The time varies depending on the type of fruit and thickness of the slices}

Package and freeze.

That's it!

Sweet & Simple.

Healthy + Sweet = the Perfect Snack!!
