Grocery Cart Challenge Recipe Swap

Sometimes I find fruit on sale for freakishly low prices. And now that the growing season is upon us, this will happen more frequently. And sometimes I find it at such a discount that I buy a lot, so much that we can't eat it all. When that happens I like to dry it for snacks. We've successfully done this with bananas, apples, pears, pineapple and cranberries. And its' such a yummy, healthy snack for the kids. So here's how you can do it too. It's so easy.

How To Dry Fruit In Your Oven

• Wash and peel fruit and then cut into slices. If working with bananas, apples or pears soak in acidic juice (pineapple or lemon) to keep from turning brown.
• Lay fruit on a parchment covered baking sheet, making sure that the pieces don't touch.
• Place tray in oven and set oven for 200 degrees just enough to have a warm dry environment for the fruit. It takes several hours for it to dry.
• Remove from oven when fruit is chewy, not crunchy or squishy.
