Fruit Leather Recipe

FRUIT LEATHER RECIPE

1 large apple, washed, quartered, and seeds removed (Skin removal is optional.)
1 16 oz can of favorite canned fruit such as apricots OR 2 Cups Fresh Fruit of choice
1 - 8 oz container of vanilla or favorite fruit flavored yogurt.

Combine all ingredients in a blender; blend until the mixture is pureed. This will make 3-4 cups of puree. LIghtly oil fruit leather tray or Teflex sheet. Pour mixture onto tray and dehydrate at 110 - 130 F or until the mixture becomes leathery with no wet pockets. Usually this will take overnight if dehydrating starts after dinner. Dehydrating time will vary based on how much puree is poured on the fruit leather tray, and local humidity conditions. When the leather is dry, remove it from the tray, wrap in cellophane!  This is a great treat for camping, hiking, car trips, and just plain snacking!
