Instructions
Begin by placing your Naturipe berries in a medium-sized saucepan with a small amount of water (just enough so the berries do not scorch). Use any variety of berry you’d like! You can also add a small amount of sugar or honey if you prefer your fruit leather with extra sweetness. Cover the saucepan and cook over low heat for about 5-10 minutes. The goal is to soften the fruit and release the juices.
Next, use a food processor or blender to puree the berries. Spread the berry mixture out onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or silicone. You want the mixture to be about ¼” thick. Bake in the oven for 3-4 hours at 200 degrees Fahrenheit. The fruit leather will be smooth and slightly tacky.
Use kitchen shears to cut the leather into strips, then roll up lengthwise. Alternatively, you can cut the leather into squares and store between wax paper. You can store your homemade fruit leather in a zip-top bag or airtight container for up to two weeks.
