Fruit Leather
Transform a classic candy into a healthy treat. Kids will definitely approve!
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces of blueberries
- 5 ounces of raspberries
- 1 tablespoon plus 1½ teaspoons lemon zest
- 3 mint leaves
- 1 teaspoon honey
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 3 hours
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 200°. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat. Add all ingredients into a blender and puree. Pour onto silicone mat. Spread evenly using a spatula, leaving a one-inch perimeter. Bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Turn the temperature down to 150°, rotate the pan and bake for another 1 hour and 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, and cool for 3 minutes.
- Cut 7 strips of parchment paper about 2 inches wide each. Cut 7 strips fruit leather about 1¾ inches wide. Place leather on parchment strips and roll. Secure with twine or colorful tape.
TIP: If leather appears to be getting too dry around edges while baking, simply sprinkle a small amount of water on it.
