Recipe: Fruit roll ups






Fruit roll ups


An easy way to eat naturally when outside is to have fruit roll ups.
Although their fructose content is high (so if you are on a diet or suffer from diabetes decide when to stop) fruit leathers are a good thing, in moderation.

I would use them as  substitute for more problematic sweets that we tend to eat or give to our children: for example lollipops, wine gums etc which feature ingredients made in a plant (a factory).

To make a fruit roll up, simply make your favourite smoothie, not too liquid, and then pour in into the Teflex sheet of the dehydrator.

Leave it there for 7.5 hours at a medium temperature - the soft disc that you find in the end can easily be rolled up and packed in cling film.  I like cutting it in small pieces...

To decorate your leathers, the technique I came up with is easy:



1) Prepare 2 smoothies with different colours (i.e. one red, one yellow) 
2) Pour the first one in the dehydrator sheet without filling the entire surface. Only cover the the central area.
3) Pour the second smoothie in the outside area.
4) Tease the edges of the central smoothie towards the other area by using some cutlery (fork ribs)
5) When you are happy with the design go ahead and dehydrate!

The taste is yummy and the look is cool!

What else can you ask from life?

How to publish a book with Amazon Create Space

How do you self publish a book? I am asked this question quite often now, soI have decided to put my little experience in writing to help you out. Here is the link you want: https://www.createspace.com/ I worked out lots of information after signing as much of the info only comes out after having a title etc and going through the whole process.
