2 cups chopped strawberries (see note)
sweetener to taste (see note)
1 tablespoon Heaven & Earth Lemon Juice
Preheat oven to the lowest number (mine went to 170 degrees Fahrenheit). Line a baking sheet with plastic wrap or a baking mat.
Puree all the ingredients in a blender until smooth. Pour onto the prepared baking sheet and spread to an even layer, tap the baking sheet on the counter.
Place the baking sheet into the oven for four to eight hours (depending on your oven temp, start to check after four hours) until center is not sticky to touch.
Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes then peel the fruit leather off the baking mat or plastic, cut into strips and roll in parchment paper.

Plastic Just to clarify, you place plastic wrap in the oven and it doesnt burn or stick to the fruit leather?
That’s what the recipe says. The temperature is really low so it won’t. If you are not comfortable with that, I suggest a silicone baking sheet.
Plastic wrap melts at about 220F. So if you’re baking at a lower temp than 220 you should be fine. Additionally, many restaurant chefs cover baking dishes or pans with plastic wrap and then foil, making sure there is no exposed wrap hanging down the sides of the pan, since the steam inside the dish ensures the wrap heats to no higher than 212F.
If you’re concerned about plastic or are unsure if your oven can go lower than 220, go with the silicone mat.
just wondering, can i use frozen fruit? also, how should they be stored and for how long? tnx
Just let the fruit defrost a little and you should be able to use it. You could store them in the freezer for a few months or in the fridge.
