Yield Makes about 32 chips

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 firm-ripe yellow star fruit (sometimes called carambola;1/2 lb total)
2 cups sugar
2 cups water
Special Equipment
an adjustable-blade slicer; a 17- by 11-inch nonstick bakeware liner such as Silpat

Steps:

  • Make chips:
  • Slice star fruit crosswise with slicer into 1/16-inch-thick slices.
  • Bring sugar and water to a boil in a 2-quart heavy saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Add star fruit, then remove from heat and let stand, uncovered, 15 minutes. Pour star fruit into a sieve set over a bowl and drain 15 minutes. Reserve syrup for quince apple strudels .
  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 200°F. Put liner on a large (17- by 11-inch) baking sheet, then arrange star-fruit slices in 1 layer on liner (discard extra along with any broken slices). Bake until dry, 1 to 1 1/4 hours. Immediately transfer chips to a rack to cool.
