Hey everyone!

I mentioned this slightly in my June Goals and Plans post, but I'm planning to make a care package for my Nan. She lives in England, so I don't get to see her that often, but we're very close and I like to send her cards. She also really liked the dried fruit I brought her last time, so I figured I'd bring some from her this time too (as I ended up eating most of the dried apples last time while we were stuck in traffic).

I also figured I might show you the process of drying fruit, and the final jar of dried fruit, because it looked very pretty! I apologise for the poor photos of the fruit before it was dehydrated, they're taken with my phone!

As you can see, I use tinned pineapple purely because it's a lot cheaper than fresh. I also use defrosted frozen raspberries (did that make sense?), which are then very very soggy.

I then packaged them into this clean peanut-butter jar, and solely for the instagrams, I layered the apples, pineapples and raspberries. I have to say, my favourite of the fruits is definitely pineapple, because the raspberries turned out too dry and tasteless. They looked cute though!

By the way, if you're interested in knowing how I dry them, which I didn't really touch on in this post, I use a dehydrator that I got for christmas. It's from a local hardware store here in Norway, and was about £25. Basically it has trays, I lay the fruit on them and turn it on. Then, 16 hours later, I come back, and il est finit!

Not a very long or interesting post I have to admit, but I got a comment or two on the care package I was making and wanted to share it with you. It's not really a package, as I realised there wouldn't be much point in sending it by post when I'm visiting them so soon.

I hope you all enjoyed this post, please let me know what you thought! Also, I'm going away for a lot of the summer so I'm having to pre-write a BUNCH of blogposts, so let me know what you'd like to see here on this space these coming weeks!
