Fruit Roll Up - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 c. fresh fruit (strawberries, grapes, apples, etc.)
1 Tbsp. lemon juice (light colored fruit)

Preparation

Select a ripe or slightly overripe fruit.
Sort and wash. Remove blemishes.
Peel, pit, hull, seed and core fruit as necessary.
Cut fruit in pieces; place in blender.
Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice per 2 cups of fruit to prevent browning. Blend until smooth.
If the puree is tart, add 1 tablespoon sugar, corn syrup or honey for each 2 cups of fruit.
Most fruits do not need added sugar.
Heat oven to 140\u00b0.
Line a cookie sheet with plastic wrap or spray with a vegetable spray.
Do not use waxed paper or aluminum foil.
Spread the puree on plastic wrapped cookie sheet.
Tilt the cookie sheet back and forth to smooth out any ripples.
Place the cookie sheet in oven.
Leave the door slightly open (approximately 2 to 6 inches, depending on oven door) to allow humid air to escape.
To test for dryness, loosen edge of the leather from the cookie sheet and lift as if to peel back.
Properly dried leather is slightly sticky to the touch.
