Fruit Leather

There is no shortage of stone fruit this time of year! With plums and apricots dropping from our trees, it’s the best time to make a great kid-friendly snack for the lunch, pool, beach, after school, sports or at the park. With only three healthy ingredients, it’s a winner for everyone.

INGREDIENTS:

• 4 cups apricots - pitted and quartered

• 1 lemon

• 2 tablespoons of raw honey

• Parchment Paper

• Cookie Sheet

STEP 1:

Quarter and remove the pits of 4 cups of apricots.

STEP 2:

Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon on the apricots and stir.

STEP3:

Place them on a cookie sheet and bake them at 350 for about 10 mins until they are soft, then remove from heat and add them along with the honey to a food processor and blend until smooth.

STEP 4:

Place waxed paper on a cookie sheet and spread the puree out evenly.

STEP 5:

Set your oven to 150-170 and bake the puree for 4-5 hours or until it’s cooked in the middle. This is best when made in batches.

STEP 6:

Once it’s baked, let it cool and use kitchen scissors or a pizza cutter to slice and roll. I kept the waxed paper on so it’s easy to peel off.

Enjoy!
