A cozy, homemade gift made with dehydrated fruit and fresh herbs.

Your Key Ingredient:

NESCO Dehydrator

Grocery Ingredients:
  • Dehydrated pear slices
  • Dehydrated apple slices
  • Dehydrated orange slices
  • Fresh rosemary sprigs
  • Cinnamon sticks
  • Kraft paper or parchment paper
  • Twine or ribbon

Instructions:

  • Prepare your base: Lay out a sheet of kraft or parchment paper and roll it into a loose cone shape. Secure with tape or a small piece of twine.
  • Layer the aromatics: Start by sliding in a few cinnamon sticks—they help anchor everything.
  • Add the fruit: Tuck in slices of dehydrated pears, apples, and oranges. Let some pieces peek out the top for a pretty, rustic look.
  • Finish with herbs: Add several sprigs of fresh rosemary for fragrance and height.
  • Adjust and secure: Gently pull pieces forward or back until the bouquet looks full and balanced. Tie a ribbon or twine around the base.
  • Gift or display: These make perfect stovetop-simmer bundles, hostess gifts, or festive decor.
