Ingredients:
1 ½ cup apricot puree
½ cup applesauce (I use unsweetened applesauce that I canned myself)
1/4 cup honey (this is better than sugar because honey will make more pliable leather)
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
Directions:
Dehydrator Method:
When using a dehydrator, oil fruit leather sheets and pour leather mixture on sheets. Dehydrate until leather like. This can take longer than a day, if you are using a tall tower of trays. When the surface is dry, peel the leather off the sheet and then lay leather upside down on tray to dry back side. Cut with poultry scissors. Wrap pieces by placing on plastic wrap and rolling up. Store in a gallon zip lock bag.
Outdoors Method:
You can also set two saw horses 8 feet apart (be sure to place the feet of the saw horse in cans of water so ants do not crawl up the legs. Then place 2" x 4" x 8' board stretched across the saw horses. Cover the board with plastic wrap. Lightly oil. Pour apricot mixture down the center of the board. Loosely tent some cheese cloth or screening over the drying leather to keep flying insects off. Wings and feet are unappetizing to some! Periodically check to see when dry to leather state. Roll into one large roll.
