Fruit Leather

Fruit Leather

Makes one 9x12 sheet


INGREDIENTS

2 cups berries, fresh or frozen

1 cup cooked beets, diced (about 1 medium beet)

2 tablespoons honey


INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat your oven to 175 degrees or break out your dehydrator. Combine the berries, beet, and honey in a powerful blender. Blend on high to create a smooth mixture. You may need a tablespoon or so of water to allow the mixture to blend smoothly. Pour the blended mixture onto a parchment or wax paper-lined pan and use a spatula to create a very smooth layer about 1/8-1/4 inch in thickness. Don't worry if it looks a little too thick - as it dries, it will get thinner. Place the pan into the oven, turning every hour, until the leather is no longer sticky in the middle, approximately 5 hours. If using a dehydrator, refer to your machine's instructions. Carefully peel the fruit leather off of the pan and transfer it to a cutting board. Use a sharp knife or a pizza cutter to cut into strips or squares. Store in an airtight container.
