During the month of September, I deeply enjoy the routine of drying fruit. Every couple of days, the dehydrator gets re-filled with slices of Asian pears, plums, apples, grapes and any other fruit on hand. The aromas of the fruit as it dries are delightful, and it’s fun watching jars fill up with delicious snacks for the coming winter months. With the last of the fruit picked off my trees before the torrential downpours of Pacific Northwest autumn, the fruit drying frenzy is winding down, and the pantry shelves are pleasantly crowded.
Some things in life are best cut and dried.
