They are actually very good and quite pretty, if I do say so myself.

Strawberry Mango |
Something I learned: if you have a dehydrator, instead of using the fruit roll sheet that comes with it, cut parchment paper to fit the racks. You'll be able to peel the fruit roll off a lot easier and you don't have to worry about washing another dirty dish. Win-win.
Another something I learned: that strawberry mango fruit roll looks so pretty before it dries. However, once it dries, you won't see the pretty mango anymore- just a large red circle. Still tasty, though. But, if you let it dry for too long, instead of strawberry fruit leather you will end up with strawberry fruit paint chips. This does not happen with either the mango rolls or the apple sauce rolls, though.
The great thing about these is that they are 100% fruit. No sugar added. Just blend the fruit and pour. So easy to make and they are really very good! I guarantee that, even if you have a super picky kid who won't touch fruit, they will eat these thinking they are those store-bought, sugary, cavity magnets. They'll never know they are instead eating fiber filled, vitamin and mineral carrying, super good for you, cavity magnets. (Just keeping it real- they are sticky....but soooo good!)
Ok- I hope that dehydrator is finally done. I'm really tired and I truly am getting cranky- my Mister just lovingly told me that he missed me, kissed me, and asked me to go to bed. I
I'm coming, honey! I'll make you some dried fruit! And a lasagna! Mister? COME BACK AND LOVE ME!
ROTFLMAO

How did the Children's Day go? I'll bet the fruit leather was a hit. It looks so good!
ReplyDeletePregnancy makes the best of us a bit CRANKY at times. Stinkin' hormones.
Hey Kuddles and Tracy! I finally recouped from an intense couple of weeks- whew! The Children's Day went well- I'll blog about it now. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah...I've been a cranky pot lately. The lack of sleep and added stress didn't help out those stinkin' hormones, that's for sure. I could still use some more sleep, but hopefully I won't bite my Mr's head off tonight. ;)
