To Dry Apples, Also to Pack

Extremely acid fruit is best for retaining flavour when dried. Cut in slices, string or merely place on shallow trays, drying in fruit-dryer, in cool oven or sun. If dried in the sun, heat over steam before putting away to destroy any possible insect eggs, and while drying cover with mosquito netting to protect from insects. In packing apples away for winter keeping or shipping, if elder blossoms are placed between layers a delicate flavour is given.
