~Foods of the Rainbow~

We made our 2nd batch of fruit leather today. We did it without going to the grocery store and just using things we already had. It's cooking right now but the puree' sure tastes delish...we can't wait to enjoy it tomorrow.
Here's what we did...
Photobucket
Picked and cut figs from fig tree oh and a few oranges too.
Added some ingredients on hand: frozen pineapple and mango and 100% raspberry preserves.
Mix and taste and taste and mix.
Simmer stove top for about 10-15 minutes...added a little orange, peach, mango juice. (100% juice of course!)
Blend and added a squirt of honey and a splash of vanilla.
Pour onto "oven safe" saran wrap on baking dish.
A couple more little tastes...
Compost for a happy earth and some happy lil surfer girls!
Now it's "dehydrating" in the oven at about 150 for a few hours or until firm. I'll usually cook this in the evening and shut the oven off, remove first thing in the morning and cut. It smells incredible right now!!!
