Dried Fruit

 

While grocery shopping a few weeks ago, I saw packages of mixed dried fruit on sale as a closeout. The mix included dried peaches, apples, plums, and apricots. I was planning to buy dried apricots, but when I saw that the mixed fruit was on sale, I decided to get that instead. I purchased four packages. However, no one cared for the mix. So, they sat in my pantry untouched for weeks.

 

But, over the weekend I had a brainstorm. Why not separate the fruits? My oldest loves the apricots, my son loves the dried plums, and I could eat up the other fruits in my Oatmeal. So, I got out some mason jars and separated them. Now they are quickly disappearing and I have rescued another food from going to waste.

 

What have you done to reduce food waste this week?
