This Green Life
Aug. 22nd, 2012 06:51 pmI attempted to make home-made fruit leathers last week. Technically it would have been slightly cheaper (about $4.50 plus electricity compared to $5.50 for the same amount). The taste was comparable.
Except that it set like cement and I could only chip off a few scraps, making it approximately 10 times more expensive. And actually with more additives (lemon juice) than the option I buy. Plus, of course, way more effort.
I read a lot of blogs extolling how simple it is to live a natural life and to replace the things you buy with home-made options. My experience is – not so much.
