Homemade Fruit Leather

Making your own fruit leather is a little time consuming, but the results are worth it. You get a perfect snack for you or your kids and there's no added sugar.

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 140 degrees Fahrenheit, or the lowest setting yours allows.

Using a food processor or blender, process the fruit until smooth (depending on the size of your blender/food processor, you may need to do this in two batches).

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper, making sure to cover the sides. Pour the puree onto the sheet, to about 1/4" thickness.

Bake the fruit leather for 3-4 hours, or until smooth and the fruit leather is no longer sticky. (Alternatively, you may turn off your oven after 3 hours and leave it in the oven overnight).

Cut into strips and eat as a snack. This works great for packed lunches, especially for the kids.
