Ingredients:
2 cups pureed ripe Pears
1 cup Applesauce ( I use unsweetened home canned Jonathan applesauce)
Directions:
Rinse, peel, and core pears. Thin drop into blender that is not turned on. When blender is full, turn on and puree pears. Pour puree into stock pot and heat thoroughly, stirring constantly. This step destroys enzymes that otherwise could blacken the puree. Add the rest of the ingredients. Mix well. Ladle 1cup of puree onto each lightly oiled (with vegetable oil) 15" diameter dehydrator leather making tray. Dry until the surface is lightly tacky to the touch. It takes about 12-13 hours for 10 trays. Gently remove from dehydrator sheet while still warm, flip over onto the tray (without the leather drying sheet) to dry the other side of the leather until dry, about 30 minutes to 1 hour. Turn heat down and keep dehydrator on while you cut and wrap, the leather will stay pliable while warm. Cut with oiled kitchen sheers, and roll up on a strip of saran wrap. Store in a ziplock bag, large lidded jar, or other kind of air tight kitchen container to store.
