Steps:
- Clean and prep the fruit: Rinse the fruit. If you're working with stone fruit, take out the pits. Chop the fruit. If you're working with apples or pears, peel and core them, then chop. If working with grapes, de-stem them. Taste the fruit before proceeding. Note how sweet the fruit is. If very sweet (ripe Concord grapes, for example) you won't need to add any sugar. If still a little tart, you may need to add some sugar in the next step.
- Boil the fruit with water, then mash: Place the fruit in a large saucepan. Add 1/2 cup of water for every 4 cups of chopped fruit. Bring to a simmer, cover, and let cook on a low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the fruit is cooked through. Uncover and stir. Use a potato masher to mash up the fruit in the pan.
- Season with sugar and spices, if desired: Taste the fruit and determine how much sugar, lemon juice, or spices to add. If needed, add the sugar in small amounts (1 tablespoon at a time), to your desired level of sweetness. Add lemon juice 1 teaspoon at a time to help brighten the flavor of the fruit. Add a pinch or two of cinnamon, nutmeg, or other spices to augment the flavor, if you'd like. Continue to simmer and stir until any added sugar is completely dissolved and the fruit purée has thickened, another 5 or 10 (or more) minutes.
- Purée the cooked fruit: Put the mashed fruit through a food mill or chinoise. Alternatively, purée the fruit thoroughly in a blender or food processor. The purée should be very smooth. Taste again and adjust the sugar/lemon/spices, if necessary.

Steps:
- Tip the strawberries and apple into a saucepan. Put the pan over a low heat, you don't need to add any water. If you've used frozen fruit, juice will run out as they thaw. Heat gently, keeping an eye on the pan until the strawberries start to break down, you can put a lid on the pan if you like, this keeps the steam in and helps the fruit break down. Cook until the strawberries have softened and given up their juice and the apple is soft.
- Take the pan off the heat. Purée the contents with a stick blender or in a food processor. Squeeze the purée through a sieve into a clean pan, pushing as much pulp through as possible.
- Put the pan back on a low heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the purée thickens enough to leave a clear patch on the base of the pan when you pull a spoon through it. The more moisture you drive off now, the shorter your drying time will be.
- Heat the oven to as low as it will go. Pour the purée onto a lined baking sheet (we use a reusable silicone tray liner) and spread it out to a thin layer, the purée should be thick enough to look opaque.
- Put the tray in the oven and dry until the surface is no longer tacky when you touch it, but the leather is still flexible - don't overcook it or it will turn brittle. This will take several hours depending on the oven temperature. If it is very hot and sunny you can air-dry the leather, or use a dehydrator.
- Leave the leather to cool to warm and then peel it carefully off the tray. Trim off the raggedy edges. Roll the leather up, then cut the roll into sections, using scissors is easiest. Each of these will unroll to make a strip. Keep the strips individually wrapped and airtight. The offcuts can be chopped up and used in baking, or snacked on.

- Wash, peel and remove any stems or pits, if needed. The skin of the fruit is highly nutritious so we always use the peel as well (exception: bananas, pineapples, oranges, etc).
- Put all the produce into a blender or food processor, with your sweetener of choice, and blend until smooth.* If making the Strawberry Rhubarb variation: The rhubarb needs to be softened so after dicing put into a pot with just enough water to cover them and cook on medium until soft, we pour everything from the pot, water and all, into the processor so we don’t lose the nutrients
- Optional Step: We have found if your preheat the mixture in a pot before putting it in the dehydrator it speeds up the drying time. Just dump the blended mixture into a pot and heat on medium for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally
- Line trays with parchment paper. Spread onto dehydrated trays. Since the sides dry quicker, make the puree thicker around the edges - approx 1/4” inch and 1/8” at the center.

- Add the fruit, honey, lemon juice, and water (if needed) to your pan. Cover with a lid. Cook on low until the fruit is released in juices and combined together. Let it cook down until thickened.
- Allow the fruit to cool. Add the cooked fruit to your blender or food processor and blend until very smooth.
- Spread the thick puree onto a dehydrator sheet lined with Silpat or parchment paper (14" x 14"). It should be spread on thick. Use a spatula to get a nice even surface (important, so it dries evenly!).

- Place the fruit in a pot (if using ground spices, add them too). If the fruit is really juicy, like plums, apples, peaches, etc, then you hardly have to add any water, just barely enough to keep the bottom from scorching. So just eyeball it, add maybe 1/4 cup of water or so. Check on your fruit as it is stewing to make sure it isn't scorching. If it looks like it needs a little more water, add more. Cover and stew the fruit for 5-10 minutes or until softened.
- Puree the fruit until smooth. You can transfer it to a countertop blender or use an immersion blender. Pour the pureed fruit onto lined cookies sheets (either silicone or parchment paper). Spread it out to a thickness of about 1/4 inch or slightly less.
- Heat the oven 140°F. To speed up the process you can turn on the convection setting if you have one. It typically takes 8-12 hours to dry out. You'll know your fruit leather is done when the surface is smooth and no longer sticky. (Note: You can dehydrate the fruit leather in either a conventional oven or in a food dehydrator, whichever you prefer. I have a dehydrator but prefer to use the oven for this. It's super simple spreading it out on two cookies sheets and placing them in the oven.
- Slice the fruit leather into strips. (You can store the fruit leather either as one large strip and slice it later or store it in strips. Note: If you're using parchment paper the fruit leather is easiest to remove while it's still slightly warm to prevent it from sticking to paper.)

- Lightly oil your dehydrator fruit leather trays. Divide the fruit puree evenly across the trays - we used 4 trays for ours, but depending on your tray’s surface area yours may require more or fewer trays. The puree should be spread out in an even, ¼” layer.
- Remove the trays from the dehydrator and carefully peel the leather off the trays. Cut into strips, roll, and store in an airtight container until ready to enjoy.

20 KICKASS FRUIT LEATHER RECIPE IDEAS FOR SOME FRUITY FUN
From morningchores.com
Estimated Reading Time 8 mins
- Strawberry Fruit Leather. We’ll start simple with a classic and much-loved strawberry fruit leather. In my opinion, you can never really go wrong with strawberry flavored things.
- Apricot Fruit Leather. This apricot fruit leather literally has two ingredients. Two. It might not be the healthiest with the added sugar, but you could adjust that dependant on the amount you want to use, or keep it sweet and reserve it for treat time.
- Blueberry Banana Fruit Leather. I always put banana and blueberries on my porridge in the mornings, so this flavor combination makes me think of that, and I would probably have it as a little late morning snack.
- Peach Fruit Leather. This recipe can be used with any fruit substituted in, but peach is used in the example, and I love the flavor of peach so I reckon I would go for that.
- Pumpkin Apple Fruit Leather. Now, this pumpkin apple fruit leather sounds like the loveliest little autumnal treat. I love the combination of ingredients and flavors and think the maple syrup is a nice addition both as a sweetener and as an extra flavor.
- Spicy Strawberry Fruit Leather. This is like a grown-up version of a regular strawberry fruit leather, and I think it is a genius idea. It can be challenging to balance sweet and spicy, but I think this spicy strawberry fruit leather recipe looks like it does so just perfectly.
- Peach Raspberry Fruit Leather. I’ve never seen a fruit leather quite as pretty as this peach raspberry one, and I am so into it. It is such a cool idea to leave the two mixtures separate and then marble them together, creating this effect instead of an orangey colored combination of the two fruits.
- Spiced Orange Fruit Leather. What better time of year to try out this spiced orange fruit leather recipe than during the festive season. Of course, you could make this whenever you want to, but there is something about spiced orange flavors that just screams Christmas to me.
- Strawberry Lemonade Fruit Leather. This strawberry lemonade fruit leather sounds like such a delicious treat and, being inspired by one of my favorite drinks, and I am ready to make myself a batch right this second.
- Plum Fruit Leather. Plums aren’t a fruit that I buy often, and I am not sure why because I really do like the taste of them. It doesn’t seem to be a flavor that is used to much, which is why I think this recipe is a nice option for something a little different.
