Directions
Anna Olson’s Crisp Fruit Chips, Yes, this is another recipe from Food and Drink Magazine! A garnish of fruit chips is a dramatic way to add shards of concentrated flavour and snappy crunch to winter desserts and soups Pastry chef Anna Olson, host of Food Network Canada’s Sugar and owner of Olson’s Foods and Bakery in Port Dalhousie, particularly loves pear or pineapple chips They’re easy to make at home, she says, but cautions the real trick is having a good sharp mandolin slicer to cut the fruit thinly I had fun making these beautiful garnishes so I thought I would share! They may be made with your favourite fruits, unpeeled pears or apples sliced lengthwise, or peeled and uncored pineapple are good choices Use your imagination!! Ingredient amounts are approximate, you can add more or less fruit and icing sugar to taste , Very easy, only marred by my oven tripping the power halfway through the drying time! I left them in the cooling oven overnight, and this morning switched it on again, they seemed to be well on their way, and DH was left with instructions to keep an eye on them and take them out when ready! I can see they will be lovely, and I will give this another go once I’ve had that switch fixed! Made for ZWT5, thanks for a lovely recipe, Leslie!
