Making Groceries: Fruit Leather
Author: 
 
This recipe can be made with just about any fruit puree, just follow the method!
Ingredients
  • 3-4 ripe mangoes*
  • ½ t coconut oil
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 185°. Puree mangoes in a food processor or blender for a few minutes, until absolutely smooth. Taste. You can add a bit of sugar or lemon juice if your mangoes aren't perfectly ripe. Mine were sublime as is. You need 2 cups of puree.
  2. Use a pastry brush and grease a baking sheet with coconut oil. This is an essential step to prevent sticking, so be thorough.
  3. Smooth puree over baking sheet making it as even as possible. Bake for 4-5 hours. Check on the leather every so often. If the edges start to crisp, you can run a pastry brush with water over them so they can finish cooking with the center. An alternative is to cut the done part off and continue cooking the rest.
  4. Once leather feels solid and only slightly tacky, remove it from oven.
  5. Cook and remove from pan. You can cut it with a knife, a pizza cutter or kitchen shears.
  6. Wrap in plastic wrap and enjoy for a week or two (unless you start eating it, then it'll be gone in a snap).
  7. Enjoy!
