Equipment

Blender for pureeing fruit
Baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat
Oven set to the lowest temperature (around 140°F-170°F)
Spatula for spreading fruit puree evenly
Knife for slicing fruit leather into strips

Ingredients

4 cups fresh fruit such as strawberries, mango, or apples, chopped
2 tbsp honey or sweetener of choice, optional
1 tbsp lemon juice for preserving color and adding flavor

Instructions

In a blender, combine chopped fruit, honey, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and no chunks remain.
Pour the fruit puree onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick.
Set the oven to its lowest temperature (140°F-170°F). Dry the fruit puree in the oven for 6-8 hours or until the fruit leather is no longer tacky to the touch.
Allow the fruit leather to cool completely. Peel it off the parchment and use a knife to cut it into strips.
Roll each strip in parchment paper and store in an airtight container. Enjoy as a healthy snack!
