Dried Pears

I picked a few more pears today, intending to dry them in my dehydrator.



First I made a solution of Lemon Juice and water to soak the peeled pieces in to stop them browning.



and then I peeled and cored the pears, cutting them into half inch pieces. I soaked these for 10 minutes,



and then arranged them on the racks.



I will dry them at 65°C for 8 hours and see how they get on.

In the end I left them overnight, and by  5am on Sunday they  were done.




Now they are in an airtight container, ready to nibble.



I might chocolate coat some, that's a job for another day.
