Instructions
- 1Wash the fruit thoroughly and peel if necessary (apples and pears can be left with their skin on). Cut it into thin, even slices between 2 and 4 mm thick.
- 2In a bowl, prepare a solution of water and lemon juice. Soak the fruit slices for 5 minutes to prevent oxidation (browning) and preserve the color.
- 3Drain the slices and dry them well with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
- 4Line a baking tray with baking paper. Arrange the fruit in a single layer so the pieces don't overlap, allowing for even air flow.
- 5Dry in the oven at 50–60 °C (fan function). Leave the oven door slightly open (about the width of a cooking spoon) so moisture can escape. The process takes 6 to 12 hours, depending on the water content of the fruit.
- 6The fruit is ready when it is pliable (like leather) or crispy (like chips), with no visible moisture. Let it cool completely before storing it in airtight glass jars.
