July 2020 Activity Book l Page 12
Full instructions: http://everydayannie.com/2011/02/28/how-to-make-dried-pineapple-flowers/
1. Slice off the top and bottom of the pineapple with a largesharp knife. Cut off the rinds and pop out any seeds.
2. Slice the pineapple very thinly so that the slices are almosttranslucent.
3. Lay them out on a lined baking sheet. Bake at 225˚ F for 30minutes to dry them out slowly. Flip then bake for another 30minutes. Keep a close eye on them as they burn easily!
4. Once the slices are shrunken and almost completed driedout, transfer them to a muffin tin so that the edges curveupward in the shape of a flower. Leave overnight.
