"Hmmm, my biggest problem with these scrumptious little bits is how to keep from eating them BEFORE they go in the oven! From Epicurious. Prep time includes standing (inactive)time."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Using a vegetable peeler, peel off the brown edges on the ridges of each starfruit. Slice off the ends and discard. Slice the remaining starfruit very thinly, about 1/16" thick. Poke any seeds out with tip of knife.
Step 2
Put the water and sugar into a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Step 3
Add the starfruit and return to a boil. Let simmer for two minutes. Remove from heat and let stand for 15 minutes.
Step 4
Place a strainer or colander over a large bowl. Pour the starfruit into the strainer and let drain for 15 minutes. Reserve the syrup for another use.
Step 5
Preheat oven to 200F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silpat pad. Place the starfruit slices on the pad in a single layer. Bake until they are dried out, about 60-75 minutes.
Step 6
Store the chips in single layers between wax paper, in an airtight container. Serving size is 8 chips.
