((PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE MAKING… Recipe created by Dahlia_2020 ... you are welcome to contact me with any questions. Look me up in the membership database and shoot me off a PM. )) First off, let me say that all of my fruit recipes are not smoothie recipes. They are not supposed to be blended, and I recommend you find out if your gliders will eat them diced up and chunky before attempting to serve it to them blended as most gliders don’t like their fruit blended up. Whereas on another note, a lot of gliders have to have their veggies blended. Mine definitely fall into that category, but you will have to find out on your own what your glider’s personal tastes are. If you are new to glider nutrition, please don't make the mistake of looking at any of my recipes and thinking you can just throw a pinch of each ingredient together and create something of the same nutritional value for your glider. There is a reason why there are more of some ingredients, and less of others, and that's because a glider's meal needs to be balanced with twice the level of useable calcium to the level of phosphorous. My recipe batches are large, because I feed multiple gliders. But if you do not wish to make large batches, then it is quite easy to look at any of my recipes and only use half of each ingredient amount to create a batch half the size. I feed HPW, and I put together my recipes as a way of creating a proper Ca:Ph (Calcium to Phosphorous) ratio of 2:1, or twice the amount of calcium to phosphorous. This is critical for gliders, particularly if they are on the HPW formula. I serve dinner in three parts every night. The HPW itself, the fruit portion, and the veggie portion. I have seven fruit cocktail recipes currently listed. All of them are the proper ratio. I also have five veggie relish recipes with the proper ratios listed as well. I believe in a variety for my gliders, so even though I enjoy the convenience of preparing these recipes in bulk and freezing them in individual portions, I do provide them with a nightly rotation, which is why these recipes work well with each other. Each one brings something different nutritionally to the table, yet they are the proper Ca:Ph ratio. Even if you are not feeding HPW, my recipes would work well for anyone wanting to provide their gliders with some balanced variety. But keep in mind, gliders need BOTH fruit AND veggies. You can't just provide them with one and think they are getting everything they need, just because its Ca:Ph ratio is correct. So if you use my recipes, then you need to select at LEAST one from each category. Gliders also need a protein source (which is what HPW helps provide) so keep that in mind as well. Instructions on making this would be for the papaya, plums, apricots, and nectarines to be diced into approx. pea size or smaller amounts. Please remember that the apricots used in this recipe are fresh, not the dried ones that are more common. The plums used are the dark plums, not the red since I feel my gliders prefer the sweeter taste of the dark plums, and you can either use the white flesh or normal nectarines. Just remember that the riper the fruit, the sweeter the taste and the more likely the fruit will be eaten. All three must be peeled and sliced away from their pits. Freezing the slices prior to dicing will make it much easier for everything to be diced up if you feel like that might be a problem for you, especially since the apricots and plums are so juicy. Everything then gets tossed into a mixing bowl and stirred very well. Then I measure out a one tablespoon per glider serving into ice cube trays and freeze... I then pop the cubes out (this is made easier if you run hot water over the back of the trays for just a few seconds to help the food cubes to turn loose without breaking in half) and store them in freezer safe containers or freezer bags. Each of my gliders get a one tablespoon serving of one of the veggie relishes and one tablespoon serving of one of the fruit cocktails along with a teaspoon and a half of HPW.
