Afton Apple Orchard Recipes

Fruit Leather

Ingredients

2 cups strawberry or raspberry pureé

1 cup applesauce

1 tsp. lemon juice

1/4 cup sugar

Directions

Preheat oven to 200°. Thaw, drain and pureé berries to make 2 cups. If using raspberries, you can put through a sieve to remove seeds, if you desire. Add applesauce, lemon juice and sugar. Prepare a 10" x 15" cookie sheet by lining the bottom and side with plastic wrap. Tape edges to keep in place. Pour leather mixture into pan and spread evenly. Bake about 5 hours or until leather will pull away from plastic wrap. Empty leather onto counter and peel off wrap. Remove any mixture that is not "set". Roll leather in fresh wrap. Cut in 6 slices and wrap edges with plastic wrap.

*This recipe must be baked at a low temperature.
