Ingredients:
- 4 cups (600g) fresh or frozen fruit
- 1 tbsp (15ml) fresh lemon juice
- 2 tbsp (42g) honey
- 1/4 tsp (0.7g) ground cinnamon
Instructions:
- Place 4 cups (600g) fruit, 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice, and 2 tbsp (42g) honey into a blender; process on high until completely velvety and no lumps remain.
- If using frozen berries, simmer the blended puree in a pot for 10 minutes to reduce excess water before spreading.
- Preheat the oven to 140°F (60°C).
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring the paper extends slightly over the edges of the pan.
- Pour the puree onto the center of the tray and use an offset spatula to spread the mixture into a thin, even layer, leaving a slightly thicker border (about 1/8 inch) around the edges to prevent curling.
- Sprinkle 1/4 tsp (0.7g) ground cinnamon over the top if making an apple blend.
- Slide the tray into the oven and bake for 6 to 8 hours, propping the oven door open slightly with a wooden spoon to allow moisture to escape.
- Check for doneness by touching the center; the leather is finished when it is no longer tacky to the touch and peels away from the parchment easily.
- Once the sheet is cool, use a pizza cutter or scissors to slice the leather into long strips. Roll each strip up tightly and secure it with a piece of twine or a small rubber band.
