I pulled it out again this week to dry some apples that the kids weren't eating, and some bananas that were going bad. Well, apparently that is all it took. They downed the first batch of apples within minutes (literally) and we had to make a second batch. They helped with that one.
These are definitely going into the school lunch rotation. Now if only I can come up with other ideas to keep his lunches interesting. (Feel free to add your ideas in the comments!)Look how domestic I'm becoming (good grief). I've already done strawberry jam this year, now I'm drying fruit - and this week we are canning 50# of peaches (minus the ones we've eaten), making blackberry jam and syrup and just might try blueberry syrup if I can get some picked in time. If any of you have good syrup recipes you can share them too. ; )
Just call me Martha!

I made blueberry syrup last year. I just used the recipe from the Ball book. (Do you have that one?) You can it as a thin syrup, and then if you want thick syrup, you thicken it with a little bit of cornstarch just before you use it. We've used it on pancakes and waffles. It's the best blueberry syrup I've ever had!
