Peach Fruit Leather

Posted in Gluten Free, Homemaking, and Homesteading

We had several pounds of local peaches on hand, and they were starting to get a little too ripe for most purposes. Of course, this makes them perfect for making peach fruit leather. I cleaned them up, cut them up, and placed them in the blender to create peach puree. Because these peaches were deliciously sweet, I didn’t add any sweetener. While I need to get a little more consistent with the thickness of the puree on the drying sheets, they turned out well. Even the ones that were a little too crisp made yummy fruit leather sheets.

Around here, the summer squash are in season, so they can be found everywhere – including our garden.

Roasted Root Vegetable Medley

Posted in Gluten Free, and Homemaking

We’ve been thoroughly enjoying our CSA boxes the last couple of weeks, but it does require some creativity to figure out how to use everything. I’m personally not a big fan of radishes or beets, so I needed to decide how to use these in a manner that we would all still enjoy them. I started thinking about how oven roasted changes the flavor of many veggies, so I decided to give it a try. I grabbed what root veggies I had on hand, but you can easily substitute whatever you have to create your own unique root veggie medley.…
