Bosenberry or Blackberry Leather

Puree 1 quart of berries.
Add 1/4 cup sugar

Just heat through on the stovetop. Strain through cheesecloth to remove
seeds.

Dehydrate in a dehydrator or in oven.*

To dry in an oven just set temp at lowest possible setting –about 140
degress would be good. Dry until fruit feels leather like ;yet pliable.
This would probably best be done on parchment paper, Remove the leather
while it is still warm and roll it up.

Title: Nut Wedges
Categories: Cookies
Yield: 1 servings

1 11 oz packag pie crust mix
1/4 c Sugar
1/3 c Sugar
1 ts Ground cinnamon
2 ts Honey
1 ts Lemon juice
1 c Finely chopped nuts
-(walnuts — hazelnuts, peca
1/2 c Semisweet chocolate pieces
1 ts Shortening

Recipe by: riacmt@ubvmsb.cc.buffalo.edu (Carol Miller-Tutzauer)
Stir together pie crust mix and 1/4 cup sugar. Add 3 to 4 tablespoons
water
to form ball. Divide in half. On floured surface, roll each half into a
9-inch circle. Spray a cookie sheet, preferably one of those air-insulated
ones, with PAM or other non-stick spray. Transfer 1 circle to cookie
sheet.
Preheat oven to 375 deg F.

For filling, combine 1/3 cup sugar,cinnamon, honey, lemon juice, and
chopped nuts. Spread over pastry. (Be careful to leave about 3/4-inch to
1-inch edge with no topping. You will seal along this edge. I also try to
press the nut filling down, so it isn’t too crumbly. Something I do is to
take beaten egg white and brush around the edge of the pastry round with
the nut filling. This will serve as a “glue”.) Top with other pastry
round. Use tines of fork to seal edges (by pressing fork around the edge,
making a fluted-like edging). Brush with milk. (The milk makes for a shiny
top crust.) Bake in 375 deg F. oven 15 to 20 minutes or until pastry
starts
to brown. Cool 10 minutes. while warm, cut into wedges. Cool.

Combine the chocolate pieces and shortening. Cook and stir over low heat,
just till melted. Drizzle over wedges.
