Fruit Leather

Course: Canning & Preserving
1st Gen Author: Janene Jensen

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • ¼ cup lemon
  • 4 cups peeled, cored, and chopped apple
  • 4 cups peeled, cored and chopped pear

Instructions

Oven method:

  • Preheat the oven to 150 degrees F (65 degrees C). Cover a baking sheet with a layer of plastic wrap.
  • In the container of a blender, combine the sugar, lemon juice, apple and pear. Cover and puree until smooth. Spread evenly on the prepared pan. Place the pan on the top rack of the oven.
  • Bake for 5 to 6 hours, leaving the door to the oven part way open. Fruit is dry when the surface is no longer tacky and you can tear it like leather. Roll up on the plastic wrap and store in an airtight jar

Notes

Substitute whatever fruit you like.  I will often use my canned fruit.  I simply add the sugar.  Don’t usually use the lemon juice when it’s already been canned.  I use my dehydrator.  But you can do it in your oven.
