Am sure most or all of you folks know what bannock bread is and how to prepare it. Came across this the other day and am preparing to give it a try.

Already working on new foods to add to this year's (2010) menu. I have been drying, then turning into powder, Johnagold apples. A dried/powdered apple comes in at 1/3 C, and I can get 2.5 Cups in a sandwich ziploc bag. Have already "tested" 1/8 C apple powder in instant oatmeal: Very good! I detest those "instant oatmeal" packets because I don't know what is in them. Instant oatmeal with home dried fruit added makes the cereal sweet, tasty, and don't have to take sugar.

I also take dried blueberries, apricots, and peach halves.

At night, bring 1C of water to a boil, pour into a sealible container. Add 1/8C blueberries, 4-5 halved apricots, or 3-4 halved peaches. By morning the fruit has re-hydrated, the water has turned to a medium sweet syrup, and all that gets added to the instant oatmeal. Great breakfast on the trail.
