Easy to prepare, these oven dried pears are delicious to eat just on their own, on top of a cake, or served with cheese.

Ingredients

  • 4 pears, any variety, washed and thinly sliced
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 110° C (90° C fan-forced) and line two baking trays with paper.
  • Toss the sliced pears gently in the lemon juice.
  • Arrange the pears on the trays and cook for approximately two hours until the pears have dried out. The thinner the slices, the quicker they will dry out. I like to leave the cooked slices in the oven overnight.
  • Remove from the oven and eat, or when completely cool, store in an airtight container.

Notes

If the pears are completely dry, they will keep for a week. If not, eat the pears within three days.
