John, you could simmer the blueberries down until they turn into a paste. That will make the flavor stronger and much more easier to pour. Just a thought, my friend! Mike

Thanks for the tip!
This made wonder about chocolate covered cherry pie balls.
John I think I would add lemon juice or extract it always increases the flavor maybe instead of water or in addition to the berries

Thanks, I have decided to add extract. I can't remember the brand off hand but it is the one that others have suggested in the comments.
Put blueberries in jar cover with vodka let sit for a few weeks… your own extract
We are just in blueberry season, here in Michigan. I may give these a try! Lard is meat based, not vegetable. 😊

Thanks, meat based unless you buy Crisco vegetable shortening. My bad calling it lard just that is what grandma always called it. LOL
I think my kids would enjoy making these. You did great!!! Thanks for sharing, John. I appreciate all of your efforts more than I could ever say.

Thanks so much
Try Batko Flavors, they have a huge array of flavors and they are good quality. I suggested this 8 days ago but also added a link which I think KZread blocked.
I bet cherries would be really good too. Add a little almond extract? Yum!
May want to try blueberry pie filling or something along those lines. Looks good as always!

no i haven't but sure sounds good!
Im sure you can make blueberry extract with vodka.😉🌻
Had the same problem trying to flavor my granola with blueberry flavoring. The wife says they sell blueberry oil for candy making. Try LorAnn Oil Super Strength. Just got done doing a 10 lb load of pineapple for the grand daughter. She loves her fruit.

Maybe if you picked the blueberries, maybe more flavor?

Thanks, actually i do have 3 blueberry bushes. They give nice berries but still not the flavor i am looking for.
Hi! I’m going on a road trip and want to freeze dry some fruits & veggies for snacks. What bags would you recommend? I don’t need super long term storage for them, but I don’t want them to get soft either. Thanks!
@JohnInBibs

I really only use the meal pouches anymore. I would recommend a mylar pouch without a clear window. I would choose single serve sizes as fruit will absorb moisture quickly from the atmosphere, that way you can open only what you are going to eat. Definitely include an oxygen absorber. I know it is an extra expense but it really helps your fruit keep fresh. For short term you don't have to use the more expensive 7 mil thickness bags but do be aware that the thinner ones are prone to easy punctures. I hope this gives you an idea where to start.
Would you add the link for the silicone molds that you use for these?

Thank you so much for the new recipes. I have both of your books now, and I am slowly working them. Yum!
Hi John, spent most of my morning going through your videos trying to figure out where you purchased those large round silicone molds so I didn't have to bug you to ask. But I was unsuccessful. Can you help? (P.S. ordered your snack and treat book today!)

Thanks for your support. They can be found in my Amazon Store (link in description) but here is the Affiliate link. I earn a small commission on qualified orders. (note, I cut these in half to fit in my freezer better and also note that you MUST add extra dry time, they are very thick disks and require much more dry time) amzn.to/46f3wgL
