Reaping the Benefits of Dehydration

       We received a dehydrator for Christmas and have only used it a handful of times, but the other day we pulled it out and decided to try some fresh fruit! It is amazing how delicious just plain dried fruit - w/no sugar or preservatives - is! The fact that we know exactly what is in it makes it even better! We cut up fresh Pineapple & Apple, then mixed up some fruit roll ups. Gotta love Sunflower sales.... :) The fruit leather consisted of a cored apple, cup of hulled strawberries, dash of cinnamon & squirt of honey thrown in the blender. Then the liquid mixture was carefully poured onto the dehydrator tray (greased w/oil). It cooked at 135 degrees for about 8hrs and was SCRUMPTIOUS! Try it.
