DIY fruit snacks

 
It’s time to put this crazy heat (and all of the delish fresh produce in your grocery store) to good use! We all love snacking on gummy fruit snacks and dried fruit, but did you know you can make your own at home? Read on, girlie, to find out how…

 

What you’ll need:

 

Fruit (we like apricots and peaches)

Lemon juice

Water

Cheesecloth

Cookie sheet

 

What you’ll do:

 

Wash, pit and cut your fruit into small pieces. Soak the fruit for five minutes in a 1:1 lemon juice and water mixture. You can skip this step, but the lemon juice will help your fruit retain its color. Cover your cookie sheet with cheesecloth and spread the fruit on top. Make sure the slices are not overlapping.

 

Now we’re ready to dry! You can do this outside if the temperature is over 100 most of the day and humidity is low. Or, you can do it inside in your oven. Preheat the oven to about 140 degrees F. Place the trays inside and crack the door so the steam can escape. Allow to dry for at least 6 hours, and rotate the sheets every few hours. Depending on the conditions, the fruit may take longer to dry. When it’s pliable but with a leathery appearance, it’s done! Store in airtight containers and eat ‘em up.

What in the world is cheesecloth?




Hey girl,

Chessecloth is a cotton cloth used in cooking, and you can get it at any cooking store. x0x0

MOD:
Hey i was wondering what kinds of fruits we could use for this?




Hey girl, I'd imagine any, but I think peaches and apricots would work best!

MOD so i think i like one of my band members. the thing is he has dated my bff but she is ok with me liking him and even thinks he likes me.. she has been saying that even when they were dating because he would talk to me share seats with me stop me in the hallway to ask me something.. stuff like that. sometimes i think he might like me but im not sure i see him about every week do you think he may like me? how can i show i like him as more than a friend? thanks!!




 Hey girl,

You can try flirting with him and smiling a lot at him, which will show him you're interested. SInce you two are also friends, you can ask him to see a movie or grab pizza or something, to talk about something really casual like the lyrics to one of your songs. When you go out with him, he'll get the idea that you wanna be more than friends. Good luck! x0x0
