Frugal recipes: Dried fruit & veggie strips

These are a yummy healthy treat for kids.  The ones pictured above are made of strawberry.  I don't have a food dehydrate something I want one day but i'm fine with out it.   Just put 3 cups of your choice of fruits or veggies or a mix of into a blender and puree.  You can very easily mix in a small amount of oat meal as well for a whole grain addition.  Blend in 1 teaspoon lemon juice as a preservative and if you would like a tablespoon sugar as is in the above strips.  Line a pan with heave duty plastic wrap taping it so it stays over the edge.  poor your puree in and place in your oven as low as it goes between (150-170) cook for 7-8 hours until a nice dry but chewy texture. Store in an air tight container.
