Yield In Drying Pears

Categories: Fruit Growing

What is the loss of weight in drying Bartlett pears?



They run from 7 to 8 lbs. of fresh pears to 1 lb. hard dried. There is

quite wide variation according to condition of the fruit. Probably about

7 1/2 to 1 would be as near a realizable ratio as you could get by

arbitrary estimate.
