Strawberry Fruit Leather

So, I made strawberry fruit leather yesterday with my brand new dehydrator. It went really well. I sort of made up the recipe... I had 1 1/2 large pints of strawberries that, don't ask me how I timed this one, that were on the cusp of going bad-- but none of them did!

Over ripped strawberries- washed and tops off
1 small individual container of Mott's Applesauce (Natural)
1T- local honey

I put all in the blender and pureed it all. Then I poured the sauce through a strainer to take out the excess seeds. Poured it onto the trays- dehydrated it 6-7 hours & it was delicious! Needless to say, it's all gone now.

So today I went though my fridge & noticed that my bananas were on the verge of going bad-- immediately I thought- No they aren't!!! I pureed the bananas, put a small individual container of Motts applesauce, a squirt of lemon juice (so they don't brown) and 1T- local honey. It's in the dehydrator now & I set the timer for 7 hours... I don't use recipes, I just figure I need to be happy with the taste before it gets dehydrated or I won't like it after it's done. :)

Let ya all know how it goes!!


PS- The banana fruit leather came out HORRIBLE! :( I did not put a coating of veg oil on the tray so the whole thing stuck. :( I also was not impressed with how it tasted after it was dried. It was good going in, but not so good going out-- Guess that one is a work in progress. :P
