Notes

  • Try with other fruits, too!

  • Here’s an easy way to make your own frozen fruit:

    • The next time you find a good price on organic berries, buy some extra. Or, consider picking berries at a U-Pick Farm. 

    • Wash and slice berries as desired. Lay them in a single layer on a cookie sheet or a dehydrator tray and put them in the freezer. Once they are frozen. Put them in a plastic bag for easy use in your recipes.

    • I also often buy an extra bunch of bananas for the freezer. Let them get very ripe, then peel them. Place each one in a zip top bag and freeze. That way, if I run out of fresh bananas I can add a frozen one to my smoothies, not to mention making ice cream.
