Grandma Pfost's light, easy and healthy homemade fruit leather brings out the kid in all of us!
Ingredients
Strawberry Fruit Leather:
- 2 pounds fresh strawberries
- 2 tablespoons honey
Pear Fruit Leather:
- 4 medium Bartlett pears
- 1 medium Fuji apple
- 2 tablespoons honey
Preparation
Preheat oven to 150ºF or its lowest setting. Line a large, nonstick baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.
Slice and core fruit. In a medium skillet, sauté fruit with honey over medium heat until most of the moisture has evaporated—take care not to scorch the fruit or burn the honey while cooking.
In a blender or food processor, puree cooked fruit to a somewhat smooth consistency. Spread fruit puree onto lined baking sheet in a relatively uniform layer (about 1/8 inch thick).
Place pan into preheated oven and cook for 6–8 hours.
Cool at room temperature, then cut into desired sizes and shapes, peel from paper and enjoy!
