'Fruit leather is so easy to make! They are a good way to use to up ripe fruit and the end result is a delicious and healthy snack the whole family will love. Making your own can help save money too!   The best dehydrator (ever!): http://amzn.to/2ofvZzR  Extra fruit roll sheets: http://amzn.to/2oPnUQi  Simple recipe makes one batch. Feel free to double the recipe and make 2 at once, if your blender/ processor is large enough:  1/2 blender or food processor of fruit (of your choice) (approximately 3 cups) 1/2 cup apple sauce liquid sweetener, as desired (optional) 1 teaspoon lemon Juice (only if using a fruit that darkens after cutting)  Directions:  Add fruit, apple sauce and lemon juice (if using) to blender or food processor and blend. If you find machine is struggling to blend you can add apple juice concentrate (or a small bit of juice). If using sweetener be sure its liquid as a crystal one will make the finished product crunchy instead of leathery. Honey, agave nectar or apple juice concentrate work best. Add sweetener and taste. Continue to adjust as needed until desired taste is achieved.   If using a dehydrator: Pour on fruit roll sheet that came with the dehydrator and has been lightly sprayed with oil to prevent sticking. Set dehydrator to 135 degrees and dehydrate until leathery but still very pliable. Store in air tight container and use within 2-3 months.  If using an oven: Place parchment paper on baking sheet. Pour mixture onto parchment paper that has been lightly sprayed with oil to prevent sticking. Place in oven that has been set to lowest setting (usually between 170 and 200 degrees). Bake for 3-5 hours until leathery but still pliable. Store in air tight container and use within 2-3 months.  Price comparison: $.61(peaches) + $.33 (apple sauce) +$.10 (apple juice concentrate) = $1.04 per batch. Each batch makes 8 fruit leathers. Health food stores sell them for about 80 cents each or $6.40 for 8. Making 4 batches like I did in the video not only made 32 convenient and healthy snacks but saved us $21.44!  List of sample fruits that work well (feel free to experiment): Apricots, bananas, blackberries blueberries, boysenberries, cherries, grapes, guava, kiwi, mangos, nectarines, papayas, peaches, pears, pineapple, plums, raspberries, strawberries.  Also, straight applesauce poured right on the prepared pan also make a super simple and easy apple fruit roll.   Here is the dehydrator I use: http://www.amazon.com/Nesco-Snackmaster-Food-Dehydrator-FD-75A/dp/B0090WOCN0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1443409646&sr=8-1&keywords=nesco+professional+dehydrator   Feel free to embed and link to these videos on your blog or website, when you do please credit frugalgreengirl.
