Recipe type: Fruit Leather
Cuisine: Snack
Ingredients
4-5 cups pureed peaches, or fruit of choice
Juice of ½ a lemon (approx 1 tbsp)
Honey to taste (approx 1-2 tbsp)
Instructions
Puree fruit of choice in blender until smooth. Add Lemon Juice and Honey.
Cover a large cookie sheet that has edges (see picture) with plastic wrap being sure to have a few inches hanging over each edge. Make sure plastic wrap overlaps well in the center so fruit puree can not leak through.
Pour fruit puree mixture on to plastic wrap covered cookie sheet and spread until pan is evenly coated. Place in your oven on the lowest setting (should be around 170 degrees F)
Use a butter knife to prop oven door so that it can not close completely.
Check on fruit leather after 8 hours and then every hour after that.
Remove from oven when center is no longer gooey and it has a fruit leather consistency.
Allow to cool completely before rolling up and storing.
