Blueberry Applesauce Fruit Leather - UAF Cooperative Extension FNH-00111
Ingredients for eight servings
1 cup blueberry puree
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
Oven dry: Combine blueberry puree, applesauce and honey. Line a cookie sheet with microwaveable plastic wrap. Spread puree mixture evenly about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick over plastic, but do not push it completely to the sides. Dry at 140 degree for 10-18 hours, leaving oven door slightly open so moisture can escape. Test periodically for dryness. The fruit leather is dry when it is pliable and peels easily off the plastic.
Dehydrator: Lightly oil the plastic try or spread the puree on parchment paper cut to fit the dryer racks. Do no push the puree completely to the sides. Dry at 140 degrees for about 8 hours until evenly dry. It should have a leathery texture. While warm, peel from the plastic and roll. Allow to cool and rewrap the roll in plastic. Place in wrapped pieces in a heavy plastic bag or airtight storage container. Leather will keep up to one month in a cool, dry, dark place. For storage up to one year, place tightly wrapped rolls in the freezer.
