the box of overipe fruit i bought for three or four dollars.
i think there was like 30 kiwis in there.
i just sliced off the top and bottom, and cut in half
i love the bright jade color
time to JUICE!
( i tried to turn the sound way down on this, since it's just loud juicing motor noise. I feel like this is some kind of fetish porn for people who REALLY like juicing.)
after all those kiwis, i ended up with a lot of juice
and a lot of the rest.(seeds, skins, fiber..)
which i made into a crucnhy fruit leather right away
it turned a brown color as it oxidizes, but still good of ,course.
the rest went into the freezer until i could find another use for it.
so i've been thinking about moving soon, and thus cleaning out the freezer. so i looked for kiwi heavy recipes. and there were some for fruit leather. since i don't really want to drink all this sour juice, i thought i'd try dehydrating it. it's not entirely liquid, more slushy. we'll see what happens. maybe it'll all evaporate away and i'll be left with nothing. i added about two tablespoons of sugar to that middle size container of juice (thawed) and put it on plastic wrap in the dehydrator.
science!
juice on the plastic wrap
dried leather. it was sweet enough and sticky and tasty. even my boyfriend said it was yummy.
when i tried it a little too long, it became brittle.
it loks like stained glass.
