Fruit Leather

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

To make fruit leather: Select ripe or slightly overripe produce
(combinations also if desired). Wash, remove any blemishes, stems or pits
and peal produce if desired. (Skins are highly nutritious.) Puree the
produce in a blender until it is smooth.
Pour 1 1/2  to 2 cups of puree on to the parchment paper or plastic wrap
covered trays of dehydrator.  Since the edges tend to dry more rapidly, the
poured puree should be 1/8" thick at the center and 1/4" thick at the
edges.  Place in the dehydrator with temperature set at 135. Average drying
time for leathers is 4 to 6 hours.  When the leather has dried, it will be
a bit shiny and non-sticky to the touch. Allow the leather to cool and peel
it from the tray.  Roll it into a tight cylindrical shape. A piece of
plastic wrap, measured to fit the length and width, is then tightly wrapped
around the leather.
