Directions
Line a cookie sheet with plastic wrap.
Spread purée or fruit leather evenly over the plastic but do not push it completely to the sides.
Leave a bit of plastic showing for easy removal.
Place on a card table or picnic table in the hot sun to dry.
If the plastic is bigger than the cookie sheet and extends up the sides, anchor it with clothes pins so it will not flop down and cover the edges of the leather.
Purée should dry in the sun six to eight hours.
The heat of the sun and the humidity make drying time variable.
Purée and fruit leather may be dried in an oven on a low temperature.
Too high a heat will disintegrate the plastic.
Leave the oven door ajar so moisture can escape.
It takes about six hours in the oven.
It can also be placed in the back window of a car and dried.
Leave the car windows open about 1 inch.
