Drying Apples. (Mrs McArthur's Wartime Cookbook)


Drying apples.
Wipe apples, remove cores. Slice into rings 1/4 inch thick. Steep the rings 10 minutes in water containing 1and 1/2 oz salt to the gallon.
Thread the rings on sticks or spread on trays. Dry in a very cool oven leaving door open until like chamois leather. It will take 4 hours. Turn once or twice during drying. Cool for 12 hours then pack in paper bags, jars or tins and store in a dry place.
Comment: This has proven to be a really good snack.
