Fruit Leather

This recipe calls for apricots but can be applied to other fruits as well. 

2 cups apricots, pitted and diced

1/2 cup sugar

2 tsp lemon juice

1. Preheat oven to 170 degrees F, or oven’s lowest setting. 

2.  Place all ingredients in a sauce pan and cook over medium heat until sugar dissolves. 

3. Place all ingredients in a blender and mix until smooth. 

4. Using a 11x17 pan lines with a Silpat, pour the mixture into the pan and spread with a spatula (or a cake frosted works great) to get the desired thickness of your fruit leather. 

5. Place in oven for 4-6 hours, until the leather is no longer sticky. Keep the oven propped open with a wooden spoon. 

6.  Remove from oven and allow to cool. Place on wax paper and roll up. Cut into smaller pieces with kitchen scissors or a aerated knife.
