well Sophie yes my goodness you're not
having to run around the kitchen well
ain't problematic
well this is this is wonderful the dried
fruits that we're about to do is
something that you know I think kids my
kids should really be getting into it
not only Debbie's getting into it why
should we why should we dry our own for
us rather than buy them in the grocery
store well number one you save money but
number two it was store-bought have a
lot of additives often and so let's look
at this label here these are cranberries
and if we come in nice and close to the
label right here cranberries and sugar
so you want and I've seen it on bananas
and mangos you only want the fruit
that's all you want to see on an
ingredient list the other thing right
here that's coming close to this label
preservatives sulfur dioxide this
preserves the color but a lot of people
are allergic to sulfur dioxide so again
you make it at home you know what's in
it you don't don't worry about any of
that all right let's start with our
strawberries all right so the strawberry
crisps are you enjoying them guys the
strawberry girl good all right so the
reason I love doing strawberries is that
when you write strawberries out of
season you know how they can be
tasteless watery yes when you dry fruit
it really intensifies the flavor so it
tastes like the best strawberry of ever
tasting right so what I do is I very
thinly slice them SuperDuper easy I use
organic strawberries because as of this
year or strawberries of the most
pesticide ed crop the most heavily
pesticide a crop so make sure at home
they're organic and then what I'm gonna
do is just place them on a baking sheet
parchment lined baking sheet and then
you want to put it in the oven at 175
degrees a very low oven for about seven
hours you could use a dehydrator this is
an inexpensive one they run from sort of
$30.00 and up so you that's an option as
well are you ready guys yes all right
right yeah the flavor of the
strawberries intensified them I can
understand why they put added sugar in
it there's a lovely tartness exactly
need to be sweetness yeah lovely in the
mouth and then you see everyone's eating
like that because I have a wee yoghurt
can i without a without yeah you could
get these ok if you're going on a road
trip this Jana I mean a great great
snack now I'm making most personally we
travel to Dollywood
right like that's a great question
Deanna you can keep them for a long time
for up to six month in the sealed sealed
bag so it's a great way to preserve all
right now the next one we're going for
so I love I know you love sun-dried
tomatoes and they're expensive so this
is a great way of making them
inexpensively and preserving if you have
a big huge harvest this year right so
this is what I do I get roma tomatoes
and then I cut them like so that should
be a little spoon is a little spoon
under that Christina thank you that's
what I need like so I cut them
lengthwise into quarters then I remove
the seeds I prefer to do this with a
spoon again I get it right yes although
you know strawberries yes tomatoes you
not you don't have to have them all gasp
about tomatoes I have no idea what
you're talking about martyr
right you're going to lay them on a
baking sheet we're going to put on a few
Italian herbs herbs a little bit of sea
salt me how to walk we're gonna put it
175 degrees low oven for about 10 hours
an hour this takes a little bit longer
you ready everybody else
de-yummy looks like bacon not using
here's the thing that I absolutely love
to do I get some olive oil and then I
store them in the olive oil so you get
exactly what you're getting at the store
but for about quarter of the price yeah
yes I put them in scrambled eggs and
pasta salad yes oh okay and then finally
I just wanted to show you that you can
also do bananas which are my absolute
favorite little banana chat honors in
pyjamas empanada some dramas and then I
make my own a trail mix mark for you for
the kids road trip everybody this summer
I will substitute bananas oh you what
yeah with what manners Oh all right so
bananas and the recipe for the trail mix
is on the website
