Fruit Leather Recipe
This simply sweet strawberry Fruit Leather recipe is easy to make and tastes way better than the store-bought version!
Servings: 16
Ingredients
- 1 pound strawberries hulled
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1/2 cup sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 170°F. (If your oven will not go as low as 170, preheat it to its lowest heat setting.) Line two baking sheets with silicone liners and set aside.
- Add the strawberries, lemon juice, and sugar to a blender or food processor, and blend until smooth.
- Pour half of the mixture onto each of the prepared baking sheets, and spread in a thin and even layer.
- Bake for 3-4 hours in the preheated oven, rotating the pans after 1½ hours. After 3 hours, test for doneness by gently tapping the fruit leather. If it feels dry instead of wet or sticky, the fruit leather is done. (If baking at a higher heat than 170, the baking time will be reduced.)
- Allow to cool completely, then cut each pan of fruit leather into 8 strips, and wrap in parchment. Store in an airtight container.
