Dried Pineapple

Peel and cut out any discolored parts of a pineapple, cut them in slices one-fourth inch thick, put them in a preserving-pan with some syrup at twenty-two degrees and let simmer for ten minutes. Put the pineapple and syrup in a white-lined pan and leave them till the following day. Strain the syrup off, boil it and pour it over the pineapple again. Proceed in the same way the two following days. On the fourth day take the slices from the syrup, drain them well and put them apart from each other on wire trays. Stand the trays in dishes to catch the dripping and array these in the screen. When dry, remove, and when cold, pack in boxes between sheets of white paper.
