Hi all, here are some yummy fruit recipes, I couldn't make it to the last activity but still wanted to share these. They are superb!!

FROZEN FRUIT YOGURT
(This makes one batch, it can be doubled)

1 little container raspberries
1 container vanilla yogurt (32 oz.)
1 thawed container cool whip (8 oz.)

Stir all together and spread in a 9 x 13 pan. Freeze for a day. Before serving let it sit on the counter for 15-20 minutes. Then cut and serve. Also try interchanging your favorite fruit or yogurt. Trust me you have to try this. It is so simple but sooo delicious. We love after dinner. or before.

GUM-DROP FRUIT LEATHER

5 c. pureed fruit
1 c. flour

Put these together in a saucepan and heat slowly stirring occasionally till it's thick.

Add 1/2 c. sugar and 1 small package jello, a complementary flavor to your fruit (ex. peach puree with strawberry jello.) Stir well.
Spread on two cookie sheets lined with foil and sprayed really well with pam.

Put in your car in the sun for 12 hours. Peel off and turn over then return to car for 12 more hours, or till not sticky but pliable. OK so that is how my mother did it, this is how I dry it. I still spread it on the pam sprayed foil but I stick it in a 200 degree oven for 7-10 hours. I don't flip it over I just make sure it isn't sticky on the bottom anywhere. When it is done I rip it (cut it with clean scissors if you are a perfectionist) and put it in a freezer bag in the freezer. I don't know why I put there it never last more than a week.

Enjoy!! KMonson
