• Thanks for the link bitt. The fruit leather was a great success. I blended equal amounts of strawberry and rhubarb and added a little apple for sweetness. I don’t find it too sour at all, but you could add banana or agave syrup for extra sweetness. …

• I have been growing stevia plants, so I can confirm that the sweetness is natural, the leaves taste lovely and make a nice addition to herbal tea. I wonder if there is something in the processed kind that created a bad reaction. Does anyone have any…
