I'll say! Some of the commercially available stuff is half or more added sugar by weight.

I might have a look, when they're back in operation. I've found I have a liking for dried blueberries, which are not cheap around here...

Possibly side point: where do you get decent-priced fruit? I'm trying to meat/beat pricing of off-the-shelf dried fruit from Wally-World.

I can confirm from recent experience that Delftship free edition is still alive and well. For those that don't run windows, it behaves...

Some lovely shots here, for sure. Mine wasn't quite as spectacular, nor was it from a canoe. It was, however, on/near a lake. I was...

I know I'm late to the thread... Seems like the key to some of the older glass-less builds is that the ribs provide transverse...
