Drying Fruit:

cut into thin slices (if nec.) lay on cheesecloth in oven. lowest heat. oven open one inch. leave until dry. :) apples and oranges approx. 2 hours. cranberries were a different story..i put them on a cookie sheet for a few hours on about 160, i heard them all pop like popcorn, then they dried well after that. about 1-2 hours i think. i didn't have a 'recipe' for how these were to be done though...there may be a more efficient way! :)

lvoes.

We like your table centrepiece and sweet Julia in that cute vest. Good job on the camel,oops,horse. And much cheaper to feed than the real thing. You're creativity is coming out again! And speaking of tummies - did you know there are over 10 million overweight people in America, and that's just in round figures! Actually, you look just right - for being 5 months on the way. (This has been a joint, mum-dad publication.)
