FRUIT LEATHER 

Fruit leather can be made by making a puree of almost any fruit. Process the very ripe fruit through a mincer or blender. To each 2.5L of puree add 1 cup of sugar and 1 tsp of ascorbic acid to prevent browning. Heat the mixture in a double boiler to 90ºC. Pour the puree onto heavy duty plastic sheet laid in a shallow pan to a thickness of 1 cm. Dry in the sun or drying cabinet (it usually takes a couple of days). It is ready for storage when it comes away from the plastic easily. Cut into strips wrap in cling wrap and store in airtight jars or the freezer.
