Fruit Leather

Made with berries. It's June and fresh berry season. To make room in our freezer, I pulled out several containers of frozen berries from last season. I found strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and cranberries. It was a delightful selection! I used an electric dehydrator.

Ingredients

Berries, 12 cups

Parchment paper

Oil spray for cooking

Preparation

Drain the berries of excess liquid. Fill your blender to the 6-cup mark. Use the smoothie setting to blend. Pour into a bowl. Repeat. Measure the parchment paper to fit on the dehydrator tray. Cut. Spray the parchment paper lightly with oil. I used a coconut oil. With a medium size ladle, scoop and put the berries on the oiled parchment paper. Spread out evenly. Repeat until all trays are full. Place the trays in the dehydrator. Set the temperature to 135 F. Begin testing after six hours. Slightly lift the edges. Look for soft spots in the center. Depending on the thickness, they may take up to 10 hours. Some of my trays I finished dehydrating the second day. When done, peel off and roll. Cut each roll into three or four pieces. Store in airtight container.
