Fruit Snacks
8 Servings, 60 minutes
PRINTABLE

Ingredients:
1 lb strawberries, sliced
1 banana, sliced
1 t cinnamon
3-5 packets Knox gelatin

Instructions:
Cook strawberries and banana in a saucepan for approximately 15 minutes until strawberries have softened.  Blend fruit and cinnamon in a blender until smooth.

Refrigerate 1/2 cup of the fruit mixture for 15 minutes.  Stir gelatin into chilled fruit and dissolve, approximately 5 minutes.  Add remaining warm fruit mixture.

Fill silicone ice cube trays with mixture and refrigerate for 20 minutes or until fruit has set.  Remove and store in an air-tight container for up to one week.

Notes:
Silicone ice cube trays should be available in the kitchen section of most stores.  The shapes shown are from trays that I got from Ikea for $1 each.

The amount of gelatin used is going to determine how firm your fruit snacks are.  Use 3 for a relatively soft snack and 5 for chewier snacks.

Other fruit can be used to make these.  Please share your favorite combinations!
