Although this is one of my favorite at home recipes, it's definitely a commitment in making! This can be made any time of the year with whatever fruit you think sounds yummy. Today, I went to the farmers market and picked out raspberries and apples.
Here's how to perfect fruit leather:
4-5 cups of diced fruit (3 apples 2 packs of raspberries)
3/4 cup of water
1/2 cup of raw sugar
1. Preheat your oven around 200 degrees. Rinse, peel, and dice the apples. The raspberries are small enough to just dump in after a fresh wash in the water. Throw them into a sauce pan over med-high temperature on the stove and add the water. Allow to boil and simmer for a good 10 minutes. (Don't let it burn on the bottom!)
2. Let cool for a few minutes and then toss it in a blender and mix until the consistency you desire is reached. I like to puree it for 20-30 seconds for a smooth mixture.
3. Then take a cookie sheet (preferable with edges) and line it with parchment paper. This recipe yields about one cookie sheet worth. Pour the mix onto the sheet and allow it to spread evenly. Try for 1/8-1/4 inch high.
4. Place in the oven and check around every hour, mine took about 5 hours. After its cooked slide the parchment paper off the tray and let cool on a cooling rack!
