FRUIT LEATHER

for those of you that still have sun!



put the fruit you desire (minus stones and pips) in to the whizzer(blender) and turn it into mush, spread this out in a thin layer on a FLAT non - porus surface ( stainless steel, glass,etc)

lay it out perfectly flat in the sun untill it is dry (using a cake coverer to keep out bugs.) this could take a day or two. scrape it up with a spatular into strips, and turn over for a final drying if underside is a bit sticky.

have fun experimenting, our fav is apple and kiwi or rasberry.
