### DRYING PEARS

     Pears  to  be dried are halved, cored and  peeled.   Treat

    with
     sulfur  for 5 hours or steam for  6  minutes.   Peeled

    pears
    that are steamed will be soft.  Dry 18 to 24 hours  in

    a
    dehydrator.  Drying times can be shortened by cutting  the

    fruit
    into slices.  The pears are  dried properly  when they

    are
    soft and pliable with no moist area in the center.
