Fruit Leather

Description

These quantities made 1 tray for each flavor. For all the flavors except the apple cinnamon (which I poured straight from the jar) I pureed all the ingredients in my food processor until they reached a smooth consistency.

Fruit Leather

Flavors from left to right: grape, apple cinnamon, raspberry mango, banana chocolate, tropical fruit, blueberry cantaloupe, strawberry kiwi, honey vanilla peach

my dehydrator

pulled off the dehydrator trays, before being cut up

From top to bottom: Cherry (2 cups pureed canned cherries), Kiwi (2 cups pureed kiwis), Pear (2 cups pureed ripe pears), Strawberry apple (2 cups strawberry applesauce)

These ones were all made with different flavors of applesauce. I used 2 cups of applesauce for each tray. Granny smith, mixed berry, mango peach, strawberry , cinnamon, pear, and blueberry

Ingredients
  • Apple cinnamon – 2 cups cinnamon applesauce
  • This one had the consistency most resembling real fruit leather I used to eat as a kid. Super delicious and peeled off really easily!
  • Rasbperry mango – 1.5 cups fresh mango, 1 cup fresh raspberries, 1 tbs honey (because my mango wasn’t very ripe and sweet)
  • Really good, the most tart of all the flavors
  • Honey vanilla peach – 2 cups canned peach halves (drained and rinsed), 1 tbs honey, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Another one with really good consistency and peeled away really easily, very sweet and good flavor
  • Banana chocolate – 4 small ripe bananas, 2 tbs unsweetened coco powder
  • good consistency, you could definitely taste the chocolate, great if you’re a fan of bananas!
  • Tropical fruit – 1 cup fresh pineapple, 1 cup fresh mango, 1 ripe banana
  • yum! peeled easily and great texture
  • Blueberry cantaloupe – 2 cups cubed cantaloupe, 1 cup blueberries
  • This one was a bit sticky and probably had my least favorite flavor. It was still good but I probably won’t make it again
  • Strawberry kiwi – 1 small package strawberries (~1.5 cups), 4 kiwis, 1 tbs honey
  • delicious! a bit tart and I love the crunch of the seeds
  • Grape – 2 cups fresh grapes
  • This one probably was the stickiest and hardest to peel off but it was one of my favorites in terms of taste
Directions
  1. I dried all of the flavors on fruit roll sheets at 130 C for 6-9 hours until they were dry
