Fruit leathers are a fabulous alternative to store bought, additive laden, roll ups. This recipe is easy to make at home with kids and has only 4 ingredients. My family likes the combination of raspberries and banana, but any combination of fruit can be used (apple & cinnamon, cherry & cranberry or mango & pineapple are also delicious). If you don’t own a dehydrator these can also be made in the oven, though drying times may vary.

Why not use the peels to make your own chemical free, enzyme cleaner? This recipe lifts dirt, grime, and odors without introducing harmful chemicals into the equation. Member Raelene kindly shares her recipe and knowledge with us. This is definitely one to try.

The sharing of this recipe is the result of a swap that took place between two members from the same suburb. One is a grower, the other is a cook. The first offered up a bounty of huge eggplants from her front garden, while the other had nothing to swap, but loved to make babaganoush. The eggplants were gifted with no reciprocation required, but the cook took the eggplants home, made the delicious dip, and returned some to the grower. Of the countless swaps that have taken place, this story has to be one of our favourites.
Crop Swap Sydney member Natalie joined us at our Berowra swap on November 5th. She baked and brought along these delicious lemon myrtle, honey and creme fraiche caramels which went down a treat. They store well and are just a little bit different. She’s kindly shared her recipe with us below.

Beautiful, bountiful mulberry trees are a Sydney institution and a favourite amongst kids and adults alike. The only problem is that when the berries are in season they can be picked in bucket loads. Here, one Crop Swap Sydney member shares her recipe for Mulberry Cobbler with us, using her homegrown berries. She says that it is perfect for school lunches and can also be eaten cold or frozen. Enjoy.

This relish is a favourite in our house because it jazzes up any meal. It’s delicious on homemade burgers or paired with poached eggs, sorrel and roasted tomato on Sundays.
Yes there will be tears in the cooking process but it will all be worth it in the end. […]
