Recipe of the Week: Homemade Fruit Leather

In honor of Tu B’Shvat (or any time of year)

Ingredients:

  •  3 cups ripe peaches (chopped)
  • Optional: 2-3 teaspoons of zero calorie sweetener 

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 150°F or at the lowest oven temperature. Line an 11” x 17” baking sheet with a baking mat. Set aside.
  2. Puree the peaches and sweetener of your choice in a blender or food processor until smooth.
  3. Pour fruit mixture onto prepared baking sheet and spread to about a 1/8″ thickness. I always pound the baking sheet on the counter a few times to make sure the fruit mixture is evenly distributed.
  4. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 6-8 hours, until pan is set and the center is not tacky. 
  5. Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature. Gently peel off the fruit leather from the baking sheet. Cut into squares or strips using a pizza cutter, knife or scissors. If you want to make fruit roll-ups, roll the strips in parchment paper. Store in an airtight container.

 

Makes 4 servings. Count each serving as a fruit or a treat.
