Oven-Baked Fruit Leather
This homemade fruit leather is made right in your oven, no dehydrator needed! Sweet, chewy, and customizable with your favorite fruits.
Servings: 8 fruit leathers strips
Equipment
- Blender
- 1 silicone silat
Ingredients
- 4 cups strawberries or fruit of your choice
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar or honey
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 150 degrees Fahrenheit, or the lowest your oven will go as long as it is below 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with a silpat and set aside.
- Add 4 cups strawberries, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 3 tablespoons granulated sugar to a blender and blend on high speed until it is a completely smooth puree. Pour the puree onto the baking sheet and smooth it evenly over the whole baking sheet. It should end up being between ⅛-¼ inch thick.
- Bake for 6-8 hours, or until the leather is no longer tacky. Remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely before using a pizza cutter or sharp knife to carefully cut it into strips for fruit roll-ups or into rectangles for pieces of fruit leather. If you would like to roll it, cut a strip of parchment paper to roll up with it so it does not stick to itself.
Notes
Storage: Store fruit leather in an airtight container at room temperature for 3–4 weeks, in the refrigerator for up to 6 weeks, or in the freezer (wrapped and bagged) for up to 1 year. Let it thaw for 15–20 minutes before eating. Make sure it’s fully dried and not sticky to prevent molding.
