FRUIT LEATHER
Fruit that is pureed and dried in thin sheets becomes a tasty, candy-like snack
called fruit leather.
• Pit, then puree fruit of your choice, adding just enough liquid (fruit juice or
at all.
• Place fruit leather sheet(s) into dehydrator tray(s). Pour one cup of fruit puree
onto a sheet. If desired, use plastic wrap on leather sheets before pouring on
fruit, so leather can be wrapped easily after drying. Remember to leave the
drying tray’s center hole uncovered.
• For adequate circulation, only one half of the drying tray should be used.
Place fruit leather sheets on alternate halves of the trays in the stack.
• When drying sticky purees (bananas, for instance), spray a small amount of
vegetable oil on the fruit leather sheet or plastic wrap. After all fruit leather
puree is the texture of leather and has no sticky spots. It should easily remove
from the fruit leather
sheet. Wrap in plastic wrap and store at room
temperature or refrigerate.
For further variation, puree several types of fruit together.
Don’t be afraid to experiment! Vary the amounts according to availability, taste
and imagination. If the puree tastes good, the leather will be better. Remember
