Question: Okay everyone, I have a bag of dried fruit in the pantry and looking for a way to use it!. See details TY!!?
Hiya
I have a pouch of dried blueberries, raspberries and blackberries!.
I need a way to use it!. I can't stand the gummy texture ( its yet another one my pet peeves, I hate things that stick in my teeth)
So, I was thinking maybe reconstituteing and using in a cobbler or something!. If so, how to do it properly, the whole point is, I do not want to waste it!.
Can you help!? I'm not stuck on cobbler, so anything you come up with will be considered!.
