Mmm! Just wanted to let you know I linked to this on my weekly roundup – and there’s another link on there for using your oven to make fruit leather. And I’d been feeling left out for so long because I didn’t have a dehydrator – hmph! I think I’ll be trying this with last year’s peaches that I froze – we didn’t have much of a peach crop around here this year. Thanks for the recipe!

Oh how I wish I had remembered about making this when I had boxes of peaches quickly spoiling all over my dining room a few weeks ago. Making leather would have been a nice additional method of preserving some of them. I think I will try it with the apples I have now.

As a kid, my step-mom made nearly EVERYTHING into leather (some intentional, some not… usually not fruit, tho! My favorite were peach, nectarine (a bit tangier than peach, as I remember it), Applesauce, Cinnamon-Applesauce and YOGURT!

Cinnamon-Applesauce was just a jar of applesauce, sprinkled with a bit of cinnamon-sugar before dehydrating. Yogurt was done with a container of yogurt with the fruit stirred up from the bottom (good with Strawberry, and a swirl of strawberry fruit-puree) I loved blackberry yogurt leather!!!

Certainly looks easy enough to make… will send this recipe to my daughter since she has rhubarb in her garden. Thanks so much!

I have done peach (yummiest there is), pineapple and coconut (so so), banana (just like lollies), apple blueberry.
I can cheat though as i have a dehydrator, so I don’t use the sun, but anything can be dried given the right amount of time.

Daisy Day – That is a fabulous idea. I’m going to have to try that one too!

Sheena – I only put the plastic wrap on the bottom. And you don’t have to use screens. I’ve used a baking sheet, but the plastic sometimes gets a little melty from the hot sun on the baking sheet, so put down a silicone mat or some tinfoil before the plastic. And for the top, it’s fine to not have anything. The leather needs the air flow to dry. I only use the screen to keep out the bugs.
