THRIVE Flavored sugars

I’m always trying to come up with more ideas for using the powder at the bottom of the cans of my THRIVE freeze dried fruit. I have to say, I think this one is my favorite idea yet. My kids had fun helping me make these flavored sugars. Here is how to make them:

Take the powder (it will likely have a few chunks mixed in) from the bottom of a can of THRIVE freeze dried fruit and place it in a sealed food storage bag (try a quart sized Ziploc, the sandwich size was too thin and we actually pounded holes in it…oops).
Pound it with a wooden spoon until it is 100% powder: as fine as sugar.
Mix it with granulated sugar or powdered sugar or even raw sugar

Here are some ideas for uses (I have not yet tried all of these, but I will and as I do I will post about them):

Sprinkle on cereal
Sprinkle on buttered toast
Use it to flavor a hot tea
Use in baked goods to make them uniquely flavorful and colorful
Sprinkle on top of muffins and other baked good before baking (like these banana muffins)
Add to vinegar for a flavorful salad dressing
Rim a cold drink / smoothie with them (especially if you mix them with raw sugar instead of granulated)
Use the flavored powdered sugar to make colorful, flavorful frosting (I need to try this by adding some butter powder and water….hmmmm)
Homemade pixy sticks! (see comment below from Nann Dalton)

Use you imagination! I would love to hear your ideas (leave a comment)!
