For Mothers Day I got a really fun kitchen gadget...a food dehydrator. It has been something on our minds for a while and we are trying to increase our food storage so this was a great gift!
We got more strawberries then we thought we would this season we were able to enjoy them fresh, plus I had enough to make a couple batches of jam then I thought I would try something new. With my dehydrator I thought I would try some fruit leather, pretty much a homemade fruit roll up, so in my opinion a lot better ;)
It was actually really easy to make. After blending the berries all up I added just a little bit of honey for a little sweetness (I could have used regular sugar but we have some yummy honey from some of our family's honeybees) and poured in on the sheets for the dehydrator. It made the house smell really good, but because I started it a little late we had to wait until Sunday to have a taste.
Sup was a little unsure about it at first but both boys really liked it. Thomas roll his right up and gobbled it up. I can't wait to see what else we can try from our dehydrator!
That turned out so beautiful! You could apply for a job making fruit roll ups! Thomas looks like he is loving it!
