A garnish of fruit chips is a dramatic way to add shards of concentrated flavor and snappy crunch to winter desserts and soups. Pastry chef Anna Olson, host of Food Network Canada's "Sugar" and owner of Olson's Foods and Bakery in Port Dalhousie, particularly loves pear or pineapple chips.

How to make it
- Using a mandolin slicer (inexpensive Japanese versions are available in most kitchen supply stores), very thinly slice your favorite fruits-unpeeled pears sliced lengthwise, or peeled and uncored pineapple are good choices.
- Arrange slices in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet; sprinkle with icing sugar.
- Top with another sheet of parchment and another baking sheet.
- Dry in a 225ºF oven for 45 minutes.
- Remove top baking sheet and top layer of parchment; continue drying in the oven for at least another 45 minutes, until crisp.
- The more moist the fruit the longer it will take to dry.
- Let cool completely; store in an airtight container.
