When I was a young man living in California I worked for a Sunsweet dehydrator plant. We dried apples, apricots, plums, peaches, and pears. The pears were ordinary Bartletts. They were never peeled. Only the apples were peeled. Of all the fruit the pears were always the sweetest by far. Dried peaches were tough but the pear's texture was moist and 'cheesy' my favorite of all followed by the apricots. Unfortunately the only dried apricots I see in stores anymore are those @#$%& Asian imports, pitted by having the seed pushed out like a cherry or olive pit and small, pale, and flavorless. Those who have never eaten dried pears can not imagine what a treat they are missing.
