Fruit Leather Recipe

What You’ll Need:

• 1 + ½ cup of fruits (we’re using peach, plum and mango)
• 1-2 tbsp honey
• Baking sheets
• Spatula
• Kitchen scissors
• Parchment paper or baking mat
• Kitchen twine

What To Do:

1. Preheat the oven to 170°F/75°C.
2. Blend the fruit together in a blender, our favorite is Vitamix, until well combined. You should have a puree like consistency.
3. Add the honey if the fruits aren’t sweet enough or you like extra sweet treats.
4. Take your mixture and start spreading it out on the baking sheet protected with parchment or a baking mat. Make sure its dispersed evenly. We spread out our peach pulp first, then our plum, and lastly our mango. We did this to create a shaded fruit leather. However, you can totally just spread out each different fruit pulp separately and on their own baking sheet.
5. After all of your pulp is spread out evenly onto your baking sheet, take your spatula or spoon and blend the different fruit pulps together to get a better gradient effect if you’re creating shaded fruit leather like us!
6. Bake for 4-6 hours at 170°F/75°C.
7. Once finished baking, layer your parchment paper on top of your fruit leather and let it cool completely.
8. Once cooled, flip your fruit leather upside down and then peel off the baking sheet.
9. Taking your kitchen scissors and proceed to cut away at the edges, getting rid of the excess parchment paper.
10. Once excess parchment paper is gone, cut your fruit leather into approx. 1″ straps and roll up.
11. Once all of your fruit leather straps are rolled, tie them off with some kitchen twine. Enjoy!

Important Note: Keep in mind that different fruits will require different baking times.
