Let’s start with the fruit powder basics and then we’ll move on to how to make fruit powder.<\/p>\n
Fruit powder is dried fruit that’s been finely ground.<\/p>\n
Fruit powder can be used in place of artificial flavoring to flavor just about anything.\u00a0 However, fruit powder truly shines in desserts where the moisture balance is very important.\u00a0 Here are some examples of how to use fruit powder:<\/p>\n

Although you can buy fruit powder online [paid link]<\/a>, it’s easy to make fruit powder at home to preserve whatever fruit is in season.<\/p>\n You can make fruit powder from store-bought dried fruit (make sure to choose fruit that has no moisture left), but if you can get your hands on ripe, inexpensive fresh fruit, you can dehydrate it yourself and use it to make fruit powder.\u00a0 I do so using an Excalibur dehydrator [paid link]<\/a>.\u00a0 You could also dehydrate fruit by thinly slicing it, placing it on cookie sheets, and leaving it in the oven on the lowest setting overnight.<\/p>\n The recipe below can be used with any dried fruit.\u00a0 However, I also share the specific proportions for the fruit powder shown above.\u00a0 If you haven’t guessed yet from the photos, I made strawberry rhubarb powder!\u00a0 I chose to make strawberry rhubarb powder because it’s a flavor combination that is sadly relegated to pie and I wanted to experiment with using it in some fun new ways.\u00a0 I can’t wait to share the results!<\/p>\n![\"Dried](\"https:\/\/cdn.cupcakeproject.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Strawberry-Rhubarb-Powder-06-428x642.jpg\")
