One way I have embraced the whole food lifestyle is to buy in season foods in bulk and preserve them for the rest of the year.
Fruit Leather
In a food processor pulse fruit until smooth, add water to make it pourable. Add honey or organic sugar to sweeten if necessary. Pour liquid onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Let it sit in the sun, covered with a screen or cheesecloth to keep the bugs off. You can also dry them in the oven at 120-150 degrees, but be sure to open the door frequently to provide air circulation. It will take several hours, probably 2-3 days in the sun to finish. They are done when they have the texture of fruit strips.
Dried Berries
Rinse berries pick them over. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and cover with 1 layer of berries. Let it sit in the sun for several hours, or likewise in the oven at 120-150 degrees, opening the door frequently for air circulation. They are finished when you cannot squish any liquid out of them.
