Fruit Leather

August 27th, 2004 — 9:22am

It’s that time of year again. Peach Season. There’s nothing better than the smell of peaches drying on a summer-turning-to-fall day. With it being peach season, then pear season, then apple season, the dehydrator doesn’t stop running. I even had some frozen apricots left that I just finished drying.

My family LOVES fruit leather, which is just fine with me, it’s so easy to make. All you do is wash the peach and then just break it up with your hands into a big pot (remove the seed of course). Cook it down for a few minutes with a dash of lemon juice, and then blend. Pour onto fruit leather trays and dry. The most time consuming part is rolling it. I cut my “sheets” into 8ths and then roll in wax paper. Here’s a picture of the apricot leather all ready to be rolled.
