Re: What is 95% SCD? and fruit snack recipe

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the tip. would not eat the gelatin so far, but it

was made with purple grape juice. Maybe I'll try your fruit snack

recipe and add some pureed strawberry or blueberry to give it the

berry taste he likes. He's real picky about his fruits. I have

tried the fruit leathers from Trader Joe's and cut them up telling

him they were fruit snacks, but he still wouldn't eat them. I have

found some dried tart cherries at TJ's that he likes.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

I discovered on accident that if you dehydrate the gelatin squares a bit,

they acquire a gummy bear consistency. You can also use cookie cutters to

give them attractive shapes.

FRUIT LEATHER

from ZOOM, PBS Kids

1 cup chopped fruit, like strawberries, blueberries or raspberries

2 TBL honey

cookie sheet with a lip

plastic wrap

blender

spoon or plastic spatula

1.Preheat the oven to 140 degrees or lower.

2. Then, take the plastic wrap and cover the top of the cookie sheet.

3. Put the chopped fruit and two tablespoons honey in the blender. Make sure

that the top

is secure on the blender.

4. Blend for ten seconds or until it's smooth.

5. Pour the fruit onto the cookie sheet and smooth it out with a spoon or

spatula. Make

sure that you spread it evenly.

6. Put the tray in the oven and cook for three hours or until the fruit is dry.

7. Remember that it takes a long time for the fruit to cook in the oven. It

won't save time if

you turn up the heat. You'll just burn the fruit.

8. Once the fruit is dry, take it out of the oven and set it aside to cool.

9. When it is cool, just roll it up and it's ready to eat.

Thanks, I will have to try both these suggestions. I can't very

well send him to preschool with frozen blueberries (besides thawing

out, they would be extremely messy)! I might be able to make some

easily transported berry gummy gelatins or homemade fruit leather.

How exactly do you dehydrate the gelatin cubes? I made a batch of

cubes this morning with pureed/boiled/strained berries and they

taste pretty good. I have not tried them on yet though. It

would have to be a cold dehydration right? I'm imagining the

gelatin would melt in the heat.
