Peach Leather

My 6 year-old and I just mixed up a quick batch of peach leather to put in the food dehydrator. Here is a recipe shared by Dani S. at our last food storage meeting. It can be used with a dehydrator or you can make it by putting it outside in the sun!

Peach Leather

1 Peel and remove seeds from about six peaches.

2. Slice into quarters and put in blender

3. Add 2 TBS honey

4. Blend

5. Cover jelly roll pan with plastic wrap

6. Pour puree onto jelly roll pan

7. Set outside in the sun for approximately 2 days ( I bring mine in at night) until the fruit leather pulls easily away from the plastic wrap

8. Roll like a fruit roll-up. Enjoy!

(Hint: I cover mine with a window screen to help keep pests away. However, pests are not usually an issue.)

Regrowing Green Onions

I haven't tried this, but plan to...

I cut the green tops off just above that first rubberband to help keep them together in the water. I had my green onions just hanging out in a small tupperware container on my kitchen counter in indirect sunlight and they did really well. I really liked the living greenery it’s added to my kitchen! I wonder how many times it will regrow? Indefinitely? Does anyone know? As I figure that out, I’ll be on the look out for a smaller size vase that would work well for my green onions. I think a cute little vase of green onions with instructions for regrowing the tops would make a great gift for any cook, especially one without a garden.
