Wash and remove the stems from the pears. You can core them if you desire I did not. I also did not peel them.

Combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of lemon juice in a medium-sized bowl.

Then dip the sliced pears in the solution. This is optional…you do not need to use the lemon/water…it just keeps the pears from going brown while dehydrating.

I set my Excalibur Dehydrator to (135°F) = (57°C) degrees. Please check on your personal dehydrator for the time it suggests.

Today these pears took about 3 hours. It will also depend on how thin you slice them. The time will always depend on the humidity in the area you are drying. The wattage on each dehydrator will be different as well.

I stop dehydrating them when they are still a little pliable…not crispy. These are great for snacks or placed on a spinach salad!
