Fruit Leather Recipe

Homemade fruit is the perfect snack for any health conscious foodies.  This no-sugar added recipe is great as a childrens snack - they won't be able to tell the difference!  

Fresh Fruit - I used strawberries, wash and cut off the tops
Lemon Juice - 1-2 table spoons

Blend your fruit together using a food processor or a blender.  Make sure you get your fruit puree as thin as possible getting all fruit chunks out.  Add 1-2 table spoons of lemon juice.

You can add sugar if you like, but the mixture is naturally very sweet.

Heat puree on stove top.  Bring to a boil and let the mixture boil for 4-5 minutes.  Bring down to a simmer and leave on the stove on low heat for 40 minutes until the mixture starts to thicken.

Mix consistently to avoid burning on the bottom of the pan. 

Preheat the oven to 140 degrees.

Pour mixture on a flat sheet lined with parchment paper.  Spread over the sheet with a spatula or the back of a spoon.  Make sure the mixture is evenly spread over the sheet and not too thick or thin.

Cook for 8 hours.  The fruit leather is ready when it is no longer sticky (puree is completely dry) and you can peel it off the parchment paper.
