Heart to Hearth Cookery

To dry Pears

The next day when I opened the bake oven door, instead of the pretty bi-colored pears that I had set in the oven, I had a bake oven rack full of soft, dried brown pears.  The pears were now dried and preserved.  These are the pears that were displayed in the post A Tazza of Sweetmeats (12/31/2012) surrounded by Quince Cakes and ornamented with spun sugar.

My next scheduled classes are a chocolate workshop in February and a hearth cooking class in March.  Visit my website for more information:   www.hearttohearthcookery.com
