Ingredients
  

  • Fresh Fruit Choose ripe fruits such as apples, strawberries, blueberries, mangoes, or a mix for a burst of flavors.
  • Natural Sweetener Optional depending on the sweetness of the fruit. Consider honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar.
  • Lemon Juice Enhances flavor and acts as a natural preservative.

Equipment

  • Pot or pan
  • Blender or Food Processor: For pureeing the fruit
  • Dehydrator: Essential for removing moisture and creating the desired texture
  • Parchment Paper or Silicone Sheets: Prevents sticking during the dehydration process

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Fruit: Wash, peel (if necessary), and chop the fruit into small pieces.
  2. Cook fruit on stove top with a splash of water until soft. This helps speed up dehydrator time and helps prevent the fruit roll ups from being brittle.
  3. Blend or Process: Puree the fruit until smooth, adding lemon juice and sweetener if desired.
  4. Spread on Dehydrator Sheets: Line the dehydrator trays with parchment paper or silicone sheets. Evenly spread the fruit puree onto the sheets.
  5. Dehydrate: Set the dehydrator to a low temperature (around 135°F or 57°C) and let it run for 4-6 hours, or until the fruit leather is no longer sticky.
  6. Cut and Roll: Once dehydrated, cut the fruit leather into strips and roll them up. Store in an airtight container.
