Strawberry fruit leather Easy Homemade Sunshine

Instructions:

1. Wash and hull the strawberries.
2. Combine strawberries, lemon juice, sweetener (if using), and cinnamon (if using) in a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth.
3. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
4. Pour the strawberry purée onto the prepared baking sheet. Use an offset spatula to spread it into a thin, even layer (about 1/8 inch or 3mm thick).
5. Preheat oven to lowest possible setting (ideally 170°F/75°C or lower). Place the baking sheet in the oven and prop the door open slightly to allow moisture to escape. Check for doneness every 1-2 hours. The fruit leather is ready when it is no longer sticky to the touch and peels easily from the silicone mat or parchment paper.
6. Once cooled completely, peel the fruit leather from the silicone mat or parchment paper. Use kitchen scissors or a pizza cutter to cut into strips.
7. Store the fruit leather in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the refrigerator for longer storage.
