It is possible to make fruit leather and cut it to make delicious snacks.
To do this, mix the fruits in a blender to make a purée. You can add a little sugar or honey but be careful not to sweeten it too much because the
flavors and the sugar will become concentrated when it dries.
Some more farinaceous fruits, such as apples for example, must first be cooked.
N.B. You can also make fruit mixtures: e.g. strawberry-banana / apple-pear / pineapple-orange.
Spread out the purée on stretch wrap or baking parchment put on the plates.
Be sure to make a hole in the center that is large enough to maintain good air circulation.
The thickness must be about 5-6 mm.
Dehydrate at 70°C, as for fruits, for 6 to 8 hours.
Make small rolls before the paste cools.
You can also cut out pieces with cookie cutters that will make delicious candies.
Keep them wrapped in stretch wrap in an airtight box.
