Homemade Fruit Snacks

The kids LOVE fruit snacks, but me well I HATE spending that money on a few little packs of chew sugar basically. So I found this little recipe that I hope solves my problems with the whole fruit snack issue.

You will need:
\3 c. water
1 1/2 c. Sugar
2 packs of Kook-Aid
4 c. peeled, de-seeded and chopped zucchini.

Heat your water, sugar and kool-aid over high heat. As soon as the sugar disolves add the zucchini and bring to a full boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, about 30 mins. Drain well and allow the zucchini to cool approx. 10 mins. Save the reserve liquid for your next batch of chews.

I am hoping that my dehydrator still works, if not I will have to find the recipe again to dehydrate them in the oven.
