Fall is time to get ready for the winter months to come. Back in the old days that involved canning, which many folks still do today. I prefer drying. Not that I'm looking to preserve food for the winter, but I do like to take advantage of savoring fresh fruit.
I was looking for this year's crop of apples at the Circle J Ranch in Tensleep Canyon, but they weren't ready yet. However, their pears were. If you can dry an apple, why not a pear? We first had to let them ripen a bit.
Then we just sliced them and threw them on the ole dehy.
While we were at it, I had a few oranges that we tried out.
Why not?
About 36 hrs later they were moisture free. Kind of a fun taste. Definitely different.
They pears dried up real nice. Much more fleshy than an orange.
That works.
Good stuff. I enjoy dried fruit. Particularly in the fall. It just has a close of summer and getting ready for winter feel. It's been a hot, dry, smoky summer. But in the midst of it, God still provides plenty of beauty to behold. And even better, to taste. Dried fruit is just another way to savor the sweetness of the Lord's bounty.
