Article: Although many fruits are very brightly colored, their juices do not always make for good food dye. Many citrus fruits, for example, have highly translucent juices (such as oranges and lemons), which do not stain other foods very effectively. Berries, on the other hand, are very effective for coloring foods.  To figure out which fruits will work best for your purposes, squeeze or blend fruits and pour the juice into a clear glass. Hold the glass up to the light; the less light that passes through, the better the juice will work as a food dye. For red or pink coloring, raspberries and cherries are good options; strawberries produce a lighter, more pastel shade of pink. For blue or purple, try blackberries or blueberries. Unlike with boiling vegetables to leach out their color, fruit juice food coloring is made of the fruit itself. For berries, stick them in a food processor or blender in order to liquefy them for your dye. For hand fruits, you can use a juicer instead (but again, most of these types of fruits don't make good dyes).  You can start with either fresh or frozen fruit if you are blending it, but fruits must be fresh in order to juice them effectively.  Be sure to remove any pits, large seeds, or inedible peels before tossing fruit into the blender; these can ruin your machine and will not help your food dye production efforts. Add a very small amount of water to the fruit if you are using a food processor in order to allow the fruit to adequately liquefy. Any time you blend or juice fruits, tiny seeds, skins, or other fibers (pulp) can end up in the juice. In order to preserve the consistency of the food you wish to dye, remove these elements from the juice by passing it through a mesh sieve (with very small holes) or a cheesecloth.  Straining is essential for maintaining consistency and smoothness in your dyes. However, if you are going for a less even look, you can choose not to strain the fruit juice (so long as there are no seeds in it!). Very finely-blended berries will be impossible to strain completely and will most likely end up with tiny flecks of skin and fibers in them; if this is not acceptable, consider juicing or boiling instead. Don't use a sieve or strainer with mesh that is large enough for seeds and fibers to pass through. Test-strain a small portion of your juice to make sure your mesh is effective. In some cases, the strained juice itself will be sufficient as a food dye. However, you can increase the intensity of the color by cooking off some of the water contained in the juice. Pour the juice into a small saucepan and cook it over medium heat until it becomes the consistency of a thick paste.  This process results in a highly concentrated dye, which will have dense flavor, especially if it is made from berries. Be sure to use it sparingly to avoid flavor contamination. Skip this if you are going for a lighter, more pastel coloring.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Choose fruits with opaque juices. Juice or blend the fruit. Strain the juice. Reduce the juice.
Article: The entire team needs to be on track toward the same set of goals. Create a clear objective that the team can agree on and actively work toward.  Explain in clear terms how the team's degree of success will be evaluated. Make sure that your objectives are challenging yet realistic. If your expectations are too high to meet, the morale of the team will drop. You will need to refer to the objectives you set throughout the lifespan of the team. When the team must make a decision, evaluate the options by determining which are most closely aligned to your overall goal. Work with your team to plan out the steps you will need to follow to achieve your group objective. Make sure that these steps are described in clear, precise terms so that everyone is on the same page. Each stepping stone in your plan should be necessary. Do not create a bloated plan filled with nonsensical steps simply for the sake of having an impressively large plan. Be in constant communication with your team and never allow them to feel uncomfortable about approaching you. Try to answer questions before or as soon as they arise.  Keep your teammates informed about each new development and change as it happens. Leaving someone in the dark is a sure-fire way to make that individual confused and unproductive. Your team members should have a clear, precise understanding of how you think, make decisions, and measure performance. They also need to know how you expect them to work. Without knowledge on all these points, they would be unable to meet your expectations even if they wanted to do so. Your team needs to see that you are open to good advice and eager for their active involvement. Before making any major decision, talk it over with the team as a group and ask for their thoughts. When teammates feel listened to, they are more likely to lend their support to the final plan. Make sure that everyone has a chance to share ideas, concerns, and suggestions before taking any major step. Every team of people will have its own group dynamic unlike that of any other team. Watch for the patterns and habits of your team before making decisions that will affect the team as a whole.  You should also look for patterns within the broader realm your team must work in, regardless of whether it is an industry, organization, or league. Only by having all of the facts can you make the wisest decisions. Quick action can demonstrate your ability to lead, but if those actions make matters worse, you will lose your team members' trust and confidence. Even though you should involve your team as much as possible in the decision-making process, ultimately, you are the leader. That means you'll need to make the final decision when all else is said and done. Aside from establishing your authority, there is an even greater practical reason for being the final decision-maker: you will probably have a greater idea of what is and isn't achievable with respect to the team's resources. Your team members can dream of the possibilities, but you need to be more grounded in reality.
