- Think small. Don't plant too many plants in your garden. Plant just enough for what you need.
- File all your recipes for fruits and veggies in order by the name of the fruit. Then when you need to find recipes for all the extra produce you can easily find several recipes
- Throw extras into a bag and freeze. Don't waste time freezing them on a tray, they do just as well thrown in a bag.
- Use extra strawberries in milkshakes, fruit slush, popsicles, and fruit gelatin.
- Top on cereal or oatmeal, add milk for a cream flavor.
3 cups fresh strawberries*
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 Tbsp. light corn syrup
Place strawberries in a blender and process until smooth. Measure 2 cups of strawberry puree. Stir in lemon juice and corn syrup. Line a 15x10 inch jellyroll pan with heavy-duty plastic wrap and tape plastic wrap to the pan at the corners. Pour strawberry mixture in prepared pan and spread thin, leaving 1 inch on all sides. You can adjust this to fit your dehydrator or another pan, be sure it is spread thin on the pan. Dry in an oven at 150 or a dehydrator for 7-8 hours or until surface is no longer sticky. Remove leather from pan while still warm and roll up jellyroll fashion. Cut into logs and wrap in plastic wrap. Make five 2 inch logs
*Any other fruit may be used in place of the strawberries.
