Tip of the Week

If your children like Fruit Roll-Ups, why not try making something similar in your own kitchen...

Fruit Leather

1 cup fresh strawberries
4 cups fresh blueberries
1/4 cup honey
1 Tbsp almond extract

Place fruit in a blender and process until smooth. Strain fruit to remove skin and seeds. Stir in honey and almond extract.

Cook mixture over very low heat in a non-stick skillet, stirring frequently, for 1 hour until thickened.

Preheat oven to 150 degrees F.

Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Pour the thickened mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread to form an 8x12" rectangle.

Bake with oven door slightly ajar for 6 hours. Remove from oven and cool, slice into strips. Store fruit leather in an airtight container.
