Ways To Use Up Excess Fruit
If you find you are throwing out more fruit than you eat, consider ways to use it up other than eating it plain. Fruit is expensive and also nutritious and there are many things you can do to extend the life or find more creative ways to get it into your daily diet.
- Add fruit to muffins, cakes or quickbreads. They can be a little on the riper side in most of these recipes anyway
- Make fruit jerky with a food dehydrator and make your own trail mix or fruit snacks for your children
- Freeze fruit to use in baking and smoothies later. Most fruit freezes exceptionally well and frozen fruit is just about as healthy as fresh fruit as far as vitamin concentrations go
- Make fruit smoothies as a great treat. They taste like a milkshake without the calories but with extra vitamins!
