DIY Fruit Leather

Howdy howdy!

I finally got around to finishing that fruit leather endeavor I wrote about last time.
As you may recall, we'd harvested our grapes from the front yard.
So this is how I turned grapes into fruit leather:

1) blenderize the grapes

2) strain out all the seeds and skin

Pretty standard~

3) since the grapes were a little watery, I blended up some bananas with them too, so that the consistency was a little thicker.

4) spread out on plastic dehydrator sheets and pop into your dehydrator for the next 8 hours or so.

Here it is, coming off the plastic sheet!

 5) you know it's ready when it doesn't feel tacky when you touch it.

6) peel/rip it off and voila! Homemade fruit leather~~

Fugly but yummy!

I made these quite a bit last summer thanks to all the apples our friends gave us, and if you are going to use a fruit like an apple, you need to cook it down a bit (pretty much like making apple sauce).
Berries also make a good fruit leather. Mm-MM!

Well, that's all for now.
If you haven't before, give fruit leather a go and I promise you'll be hooked!

Until next time, take care and Happy DIY Fruit Leather!
