POKEBLOCK RECIPE

Unless you live in Slateport, Verdanturf, Fallarbor, or Lillycove, chances are you don’t have easy access to Berry Blending machines. These machines specially prepare berries into delicious supplemental blocks for your Pokemon to enjoy. However, there’s no rule against enjoying a tasty, healthy Pokeblock yourself, with absolutely zero added sugar. Making them at home is a bit more hands-on than hitting a button with your friends. Here’s the handmade recipe for everyone to try!

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup mixed berries (plain Pecha blocks are my personal favorite (1 cup strawberries))
• 1/4 cup water 
• 1/2 cup applesauce 
• 1/2 cup fruit juice (apple, cranberry, blueberry, anything to your liking!)
• 2 envelopes gelatin (1 envelope = 2 1/2 tsp = 5 tsp gelatin) 

INSTRUCTIONS

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the berries and water. Bring the mix to a boil and cook until the berries are soft. Should take about 5 minutes! Transfer the berries to a blender (or use an immersion blender) to puree the berries until smooth. Return berries to pot. Add the applesauce and return the mix to a boil, then remove from heat, cover and set aside. 

In a large bowl, sprinkle gelatin over your choice of fruit juice and let it stand for one minute. Add the hot fruit mixture and stir until the gelatin completely dissolves (3-5 minutes). 

Pour the berry mix into 8 x 8 inch glass or ceramic baking dish (or into cute molds). Refrigerate the mix about 3 hours. Finally, cut the mix into blocks, and enjoy!
