Food Dehydrator? Anyone? Bueller???

I am up to my armpits in pears from the glorious and prolific pear tree in our backyard. For the last 4 days I have been peeling, coring, slicing, and experimenting with these sweet jewels and trying to think of as many ways to preserve them as I can. So far I have been successfully making pear sauce, am going to try making pear butter, and I would really love to dehydrate some of these...dried pears are really tasty. So I come to you, my bloggy-mama friends, to ask if anyone has a food dehydrator I may be able to borrow. I can sweeten you up with an offer of ripe, delicious pears....


ETA: Thank you, Adina, for the use of your dehydrator!!!

Joi said you could make pear butter in the crock pot. Good luck with the dehydrator! We were in such a hurry to get home that we forgot to get pears! Oops. Sorry!

If I lived closer than 2000 miles away you would be more than welcome to borrow mine. So long as you didn't mind the fact that it was used to dehydrate my placenta. :)
