Fruit leather

So, I have had a few people comment on the blog and few more people tell me in person that they wanted the recipe for fruit leather. Really, it's SUPER easy. Here it is!

1. Pick the fruit you want to use and chop it up
2. Put it in the blender to make it into a puree....you can make it chunky if you would like
3. Add sugar/sweetener to taste
4. Get out a pan - I have found that one pound of strawberries fits into a 9x13 cookie pan- and put wax paper on the bottom. Cut off enough wax paper to have some over the edges (it makes it easier to get the fruit leather off).
5. Put outside in the sun all day (if it is humid, it will probably need two days)
6. Bring inside and enjoy!!!!

Really, that is all I did. We have tried strawberry and peach so far, both being delicious! Experiment! Oh, the oven DOES NOT really work. It just makes it really hard to get off the wax paper and the pan gets all sticky. So, check the weather and wait for the sunshine :) Hope you enjoy the result!

Hey Janae! We saw your brother and his family at our ward today! I didn't realize that he went to the same medical school that David is going to now. Small world!
