Wash the pears thoroughly to remove any dirt or pesticides. Slice the pears into ¼ inch thick slices and core to remove the seeds. Soak the sliced pears in a mixture of lemon juice and water for about 10 minutes.
Drain the pear slices, and arrange them on your dehydrator tray, so they are not touching. Set the temperature to 135°F. Place the trays inside the dehydrator and let the dehydrator run for around 6-12 hours.
Check for doneness. The pears should be flexible, but not spongy. If they are till moist, continue dehydrating for a bit longer. Cool the slices to room temperature before storing.
