In one of my recent posts, I mentioned that I had been berry picking. This is what I made with the hawthorns: HAWTHORN & ARTICHOKE FRUIT LEATHER
Fruit leather is fruit that has been dried using an oven or a dehydrator
The recipe is taken from the Grow your own drugs book
Click on the picture below to see the ingredients required and the recipe.
Fresh hand picked hawthorns
Artichokes
This is what it looks like when it comes out of the oven. It has a leathery appearance and I admit does not look that appealing at first glance BUT it does taste good! When cooled down it is cut in to strips.
A healthy tasty dried fruit snack, ideal in between meals!
I bought a couple of things online recently....from bloggers.
A pretty pink bird from Devina at The Granny Fairyglade
Two lovely lavender scented sacks from Hen at HenHouse Emporium
By the way, I went back for the jug that matches the glasses. Thank you for all your lovely comments about them!
A bientôt!

Super - I have been getting ready to make a batch of hawthorn syrup because of it's fab results with blood pressure, but I think my better half might just prefer some fruit leather, less medicinal - it's always a game around here!!!! hugs Debs xx
P.S. I made a elderberry syrup for sore throats, coughs and colds I will post the recipe later, you might enjoy it! xx
Ooh, the recipe looks so good, I have not heard of fruit leather before. The jug is perfect, and I love the fabric bird you purchased. best wishes Julie.C
fruit leather...well, i never heard of such a thing...but it does sound tasty...such sweet little treasures you found to buy!!!
At first I thought you meant you'd intended to make jam and overcooked it but now I realise what fruit leather is it sounds great! Love your little purchases especially the little bird.

So now I know what to do with hawthorns! Is the final taste sweet, or savoury? I guess the latter, but I can't quite visualise it. Thanks for sharing it, because I was most intrigued!
just to let you know i havent been ignoring your cottage tea cosy pattern request - my laptop died on me so i have been offline for a while! I will get it to you soon x
Thank you for your nice comment on my blog!
You have a beautiful blog and this is a very interesting post! I've never heard from fruit leather before.

Hello Isabelle,
Thank you for your lovely comment about the dust storms on my Blog. Your Blog has become my new 'Blog crush' I really appreciate the fact you take the time to even visit me and leave such thoughtful comments as your Blog is very busy. I love the entries when you show what you have bought and I have been through some of your archives and badly want some bunnies from The Vintage Magpie and a pixie book box as well! Your new purchases are so lovely and the pink bird lovely from The Granny Fairyglade. I also love the lavender scented sacks as lavender is one of my favourite fragrances. There are so many talented people in Blogworld. I am really in awe that you made the Hawthorn fruit leather. Phoebe is lucky to have such a Mummy who whips up such tasty and nutritious treats! Enjoy the reminder of your week. xx
The fruit leather looks so yummy. Great purchase, such a sweet birdie, there is something so cute about them!
Hugs,

That looks delicious! We have some hawthorns left over from something we made earlier in the week so I may well give this a go.
